Brian arranged a tour of the Coast Guard Station in McKinleyville/Arcata for our family. The boys participated in a training procedure for using the rescue basket. They were reluctant at first to get in the basket, but they had a good time once they were lifted off the ground.
What you cannot grasp from this photo is the intense noise that these rotors produce. We had earplugs in and still were greatly amazed at the decibel output. Ocean and I watched most of this from the hangar where the noise reduction was best.
What a handsome group of guys! North Coast view in background.
Hours of unpacking back in October of 2009 and piles of cardboard boxes were the makings of great play times for the boys. They had the most fun in the wardrobe boxes, as you can see here.
