Apparently unlike the Navy, the USCG cutters transmit the AIS
transponder. I just checked it again and the cutter is there but the
AIS signal is no longer being transmitted. Makes sense due to being
shutdown while in port.

My experience with USCG cutters has been mixed, i.e., sometimes they
transmit, sometimes they don't. Too bad you didn't get to see them
going through the canal. That's an ideal viewing spot.


We'll catch it on one of his patrols. I am currently living about 16
miles from the canal and can be there quickly.
