PHOTO RELEASE: U.S. Coast Guard crews a hit at Boy Scouts of America Makahiki festival in Honolulu, April 18, 2009 HONOLULU-- U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Jarred Devito, a Maritime Safety and Security Team 91107 crew member, shows a boy scout the bow gun on a 25-foot response boat during a troop meet in Sand Island State Recreation Park, Saturday, April 18, 2009. The Coast Guard and U.S. Marine Corps had several units on static display for the scouts' annual gathering. An air crew landed an HH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter at the state park after a flight over from Air Station Barbers Point in Ewa Beach. The scouts were encouraged to see, touch and experience the "helo" and rescue boat. The MSST crew members, based in Honolulu Harbor, trailered the fully-equipped 25-foot response boat up the road for scouts to view. Scouts and their relatives got to experience what it would be like to be a bow gunner, holding a real M-249 machine gun. The scouts also learned what it takes to be a boat coxswain, a rescue helicopter pilot and rescue swimmer. Coast Guardsmen and Coast Guard Auxiliary volunteers answered questions and the scouts learned how missions are completed and even how the helicopters and boats work. By the end of the day, everyone got a turn to experience a "day in the life" of a Coast Guardsman.

PHOTO RELEASE: U.S. Coast Guard buoy tender assists disabled vessel off Hilo, Hawaii, March 23, 2009 (2.42 MB)

PHOTO RELEASE: U.S. Coast Guard buoy tender assists disabled vessel off Hilo, Hawaii, March 23, 2009 HILO, Hawaii-- At approximately 12:40 p.m., Monday, March 23, 2009, the crew of the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Kukui received a radio call from a vessel requiring assistance in the vicinity of Hilo Harbor on the Big Island of Hawaii. The buoy tender was diverted from work on the west side of the island in Kailua, Kona and responded to the 25-foot vessel with five adults aboard. The master of the vessel reported the engine had stalled and they been drifting for some time approximately three nautical miles south-southeast of Hilo Harbor in swells of five to six feet and 11-knot winds. The Kukui small boat was launched and towed the vessel to a point outside the harbor to meet the Hawaii County Fire Department. However, conditions were too rough for HCFD to safely take the tow, so the KUK II, Kukui's small boat, towed the vessel back into the harbor. The Kukui's boat crew consisted of Chief Petty Officer Paul Bertram, Petty Officer 2nd Class Kalanikapu Kane, and Petty Officer 2nd Class Joseph Noreikas. The vessel's owner/operator said he was very appreciative of the Coast Guard. The Kukui crew is currently working aids to navigation on the Big Island. U.S. COAST GUARD PHOTO/Lt. j.g. Tim Dolan
