Silly me, I didn't appreciate what it would be like to go out in a 44' motor lifeboat during a hurricane.

Icebreakers are always a pretty hot billet. I left the CGA and enlisted in the reserve while in a college and had a good 6 years at a small boat station. The 47 for MLB was a lot of fun...when it was working
