My first ride on the USCG 47'

Daddy is friends with the XO at Depoe Bay. He offered to take us on the 47 foot boat. His wife is also in the coast guard and is stationed at Newport. She went with us and their three kids.

Heading out!

First we headed toward the bell buoy. There were no sealions on it today.

Then we headed toward the whistle buoy.

I didn't want to drive the boat - it was a little itimidating so Daddy drove for me while I sat in one of the chairs.

Then it was time to head back in.
