can you imagine joining the USCG and getting stationed in a serene heaven like this?
I just wanted to show my gratitude to the fine young men and women of the Coast Guard stationed at Eatons Neck. Last night, I was out fishing in Northport harbor, it was a little foggy when we left port, but not bad enough at the time to turn back.. after an hour, the ceiling dropped, and we were in fog like ive never witnessed before in my 30 + years of boating experience. I called Sea Tow for assistance, but they were unwilling to venture out, and we were told to hunker down in the pouring rain and fog in a center console with now means of getting out of the elements. The Coast Guard heard my conversations and calls for assistance, and offered to come check on my situation. I was on anchor right near a lighted Red buoy and I Was concerned not about staying out, but rather someone else not seeing me on their way back in and getting struck by another vessel.. These guys made their way from Port Jeff doing no more than 5 kts the whole way, found me in the pea soup fog and guided me back safely to port. These guys went above and beyond in those conditions and I cant tell you how thankful I am..
