🔴❤️🇺🇲❤️ wow what a beautiful ship, this takes me right back to my patrol cutter days in Charleston station South Carolina, may God bless these American Sailors that are willing to serve and die to protect our Coast ♦️♦️♦️‼️
Was stationed on two 82 footers in the 80s. Point Arena and Point Doran. JG on the PT Arena good skipper. Was on a sar call that started 100 miles off shore ending up over 200 miles out. She took a roll in heavy seas and sat on here side with the safety stantions under water thought we were going over but she rerighted. Had to come back on one main save fuel. Good times tight crew.
Loved my time on the Point Brower, we tied up next to Point Stuart in San Diego, for me it was 1975-1976. One heck of a lot of ocean, from Mission Bay all the way down into Mexican waters as far as necessary, for two boats to cover. Engine room looks funny with yellow CATS and Cummins Onan generators.
Thank you for your patriotic post I can identify with it 🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲👍👍‼️ the cutter that I commanded out of Charleston station we were a search and Destroy Hunter killer task force by presidential order of Ron Reagan God bless that man he love this country and everything it stood for God bless James Carter 39 the president of the United States
Watching this series gave me the willies in a good way. I was on the Point Baker down in Texas 1980. Every 1/2 hour down I went to that 113 degree deisel smelling engine room, while U-way yummy. The racks, ride, meals, the travel. I enjoyed the hell out of it. The skipper on board was a Master Cheif. I learned why only E8, E9, and Admirals wore stars.
That amazing comedy irony ... 1:31 "You stay busy. You really do" while seaman strolls around deck with hands in pockets (a violation in the Navy, don't know if in the CG). Just pickin' comedy nits. Go Coasties. Thanks for protecting me.
WPB 82332 Point Roberts out of Mayport Florida. 1981-1983. know as the Point Bobby. Spent many a mile on her. Towed in lots of local boats. Very glad to step off that one. One night it was so rough the boat we were towing in called on the radio and said if we sink remember to cut away the tow line.
USCGC Point Verde (WPB 82311) Home port Dauphin Island Alabama followed by Pensacola Yacht club and finally Naval Air Station Pensacola. Great memories. Wild experiences.
I started out on the 83 boats 83391 and finished on the Pt. Camden so been there, done that. This brought back some fun memories. I like to forget the seasickness part of the 82 boat ride though.
The ONLY thing or the BEST thing looking fwd in the sea is, OF COURSE, a hot meal, usually good enough, all seem satisfied, looks like they have a good chef! NOT always happens though!
He wasn't lying about the ride on the 82' I was on the Pt.Winslow from May 2000 until her decommissioning in September of that year. I remember those engine watches well as a Fireman.
Thank you! I was a chef on the Sagebrush in San Juan. I tried to do my best. Then I cooked at Fire Station for 30 years. Knew some Station Captains, Lieutenants and bunch of Privates that were great and willing cooks.(some of us never even set one station on fire)
I thought he had plugs in. Just another MK looking for a 10% disability check. As a former MK3 & a retired 2nd Assistant Merchant Marine Engineering Officer I can say it ain’t worth it. WEAR YOUR F’n HEAD PHONES!!!!
@@franciscochavez2807 I'll have to send a message to the Sea Scout's executive board to let them know that some of their leadership team members are violating safety rules and putting the hearing of young people at risk.
@@franciscochavez2807 "all the sea scout members are ordered (sic) than sixteen" What does being older than 16 have to do with anything? Hearing loss from exposure to excess noise can happen at any age. And regardless of age, company and agency managers, crew leaders, etc. are required by law to implement safety protocols. Agencies such as OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) enforce those regulations.
You can tell when a boat has a good Commander. This crew seems at ease yet focused and professional. Nice work.
I am a retired SK1 and sometimes I watch these videos and go on USCG base’s to reminisce lol I’ll forever be a Coastie 💪🏻

I reported aboard the Pt Stuart the summer of 96 and knew this crew. Left the summer of 99 and went to Station Golden Gate.

Mid eighties I was FSO on the Point Swift, Clearwater Beach, Fl. Worst time on board Hurricane Elana underway. Small boat HUGE waves, no fun at all.
I was on the PT Evans WPB-82354!!!

I was on this ship 1971-1972 when it was ported at Point Loma San Diego. It appears she was refitted with Cat engines.
The Thatcher had twin Cummins.
I was on the Point Brower 86-89. Best job I ever had.

@@franciscochavez2807 A joke? Is that why you deleted your comment?
@@franciscochavez2807 "all the sea scout members are ordered (sic) than sixteen"
What does being older than 16 have to do with anything? Hearing loss from exposure to excess noise can happen at any age.

Was this the same Point Stuart that was in Viet Nam?
Tim Phillips Yes.
Negative, the Point Stuart did not get sent to Viet Nam. 26 Point Class cutters were sent, all 26 were transferred to the Republic of Viet Nam Navy.
is the cook shuan penn????????
Point Thatcher - "Galloping Ghost of the Florida West Coast" 88-90. Point Class 82'... worst riding vessel in the Coast Guard.
