Coast Guard Rescue Training

I was at the GTM NERR today doing some volunteer work where we were downloading video from one of the cameras monitoring the intracoastal waterway. The study is about wave activity created by boats.

While there, I tried to do my best not to step on any of the many fiddler crabs.

The Coast Guard, Sheriff’s Department, and Fire Department were conducting rescue training with a helicopter and a boat. The helicopter would drop a cage down to the boat and retrieve it. It was an unexpected thrill to be able to watch.
