ok, well this got me thinking. in '75 i was in my 2nd out of 4 1/4 years in the coast guard. i was in the bering sea driving small boats carrying boarding parties to russia and japenese fishing vessels. if they had violations we would escort them back to kodiak. 3 day liberty everytime. ya..... while the boarding party was inspecting the other ship we would just cruise around the ocean until they were done. it was the cruising part that was fun. we use to position ourself on the other side so our ship couldn't see us. party. we had 1/2 to 45 minutes to do nothing but cruise around. alittle drinking, drinking, smokey, smokey. don't judge, it was the bering sea in alaska in the early 70's. it was very cold. long live the boatswain mate. just a old coastie here. ok, what were ya'll doing in '75?
