The Men of the United States Coast Guard

We have renewed respect for the men who serve in the United States Coast Guard and what they are required to do. About 600 boats and ships a year are rescued in the treacherous waters here. The waves sometimes reach more than 50 feet in height and the winds can reach over 120 m.p.h. It is often stormy and very foggy here as well. The cliffs are extremely high and the coastline is very rocky with heavy tides and undercurrents. They say here that if the sun is shining , then you can expect lots of wind. If not, you can also expect lots of wind and fog.
