Kodiak, AK: Crab Fest

The US Coast Guard swimming across the harbor in their survival suits. There were about 20 teams that had to run down the dock, put on neoprene survival suits, and then swim across to the rescue raft. The coast guard was the only team to do it in under 2 minutes. Burrr.

This town is all about fishing.

Cruise ship in the bay.

Did I mention fishing?
