Field trip day.

Safety day at the base fire department.










Tour of the USCGC Gasconade.


You can see from the flooded gangplank that the river was already flooded. This whole area is now under water.

















Not too often they let a pirate aboard a Coast Guard Cutter!














The boys really liked sitting in the captain's chair.






Going up the stairs out of the engine room.








Picture from the barge looking back towards the cutter.








The boys ended up having a great time and one of them told me they were going to be in the Coast Guard when they grow up.

Who said we can't have pirates at the Fire Department? Pirates needs to deal with safety and water; especially when someone needs to walk the plank.
