I would have to say it was kind of a sissy heat and beat, but maybe that is todays CG.

CGC Sweetbrier WLB 405 Cordova AK 81-82 CGC Sweetgum WLB 309 86-87 Jacksonville Fl. I really enjoyed the video thanks.

@fyrfyter215 You might call that a sissy heat and beat but for the girls doing it it was pretty awesome!

Heat and Beats! Buoy critters! Them's were the days.

Which cutter was that? Had a look of Dist 17, but that's a lot of boats.

Was on the original Fir in 89. No GPS , just a big ol brass compass complete with quadrantal spheres; no joystick but she had an old school helm the size of a wagon wheel.

Funny how you only remember the good bits, but the Fir was the reason I went aviation ;)

That is the CGC ABBIE BURGESS out of Rockland, ME 1St District. We still have compasses but they're electronic. We have joysticks and buttons. The videos is from the past three years.

@bstraws88 My brother in law is a skipper on one here in Australia. Have fun cleaning rotting sea life off the chains and buoy, having a 20+ Tonne buoy swinging around the deck in hard weather and crawling through seal and bird shit. Thats why here they pay indians on minimum wage to work the deck haha.

wow, that was a really boring video

[bstraws88]

somebody posted on another video that buoy tending was harder than rescue swimming..to me it just looks like a bunch of guys standin around tinkerin with buoys..why would anyone want this shit job?

[giddydog1]

Looked like District 17 a bit...Buoy tenders are heroes....undersung heroes. Not only do they keep waterways safe, but they protect livelyhoods and save lives on SAR missions, or whereever needed. I salute you all. U R all heroes. Via con Dios
