Coasties on Patrol

Michael DiPierro snapped these crewmen from the Coast Guard Cutter Marlin as they prepared to board his boat, Pegasus , while on a rare patrol in the Wiggins Pass area earlier this year.  With the Marlin anchored near the Alpha Marker, crewmen zipped back and forth to check out the many boats enjoying the sunshine.  Pegasus, not on a flotilla patrol at the time, passed the friendly inspection and enjoyed a visit with the Coasties.   The crew also noted the Auxiliary’s Vessel Examination sticker with approval
