Fun Fact about Coast Guard Academy

I was reading up on the Coast Guard Academy the other day and found that for 50 years they had a live bear for a mascot. "Objee" (and successors) was often brought to the cadet barracks where he was free to roam. That would get you up in the morning.
See you on the water.

Ship Wrecks to See

If you are looking for ship wrecks. There are two close by Anderson Island in south Puget Sound. The best wreck looks to be an old tug located between Nisqually and Tolmie park. The other is a barge on the north end of Nisqually and is in shallow water.
Good luck Wreck hunting. Watch you depth sounder and don't wait to long. The ship wrecks decompose a little each year.
