My buddy Pat Hood unearthed the following pictures from my past life. They brought back an avalanche of memories stored up from my tour in Hawaii. I was stationed aboard USCGC Washington, a 110 foot Patrol Boat. Our beat was the main Hawaiian Islands, but we were deployed for a historic long range trip to the NW Hawaiian Islands including Midway Atoll. We became the first Island Class Patrol Boat to be re-fueled at sea by a Buoy Tender. It was a wonderful trips. We stopped at places that are off limits to humans. It was awesome. So below is a picture of me and Pat. Look how skinny I am!
Me, Pat and Jason Tama, who was a Coast Guard Academy Cadet at the time.

Pretty wild stuff. Enjoy
