Came in my inbox, don't know where or when, am sharing them for others to

US COAST GUARD 50 foot, Motor Lifeboat in heavy surf.
Could be at the Motor Lifeboatman's School at Cape Disappointment,
Oregon.

Those boats can handle those conditions....it is what they were
designed for.

Aluminum Hulls and Superstructure, Pretty damn near unsinkable, will
recover from a roll over in about 30 seconds.

Even though it is the motto of the US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers it
holds true for those crewmembers too.

"THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE!"

SEMPER PARATUS.
