Dan pulled a few strings and was able to get us on the Coast Guard base on Pier 36. Actually, they probably would let anyone walk around, but they were pretty friendly after Dan told them that he was part of the brotherhood. We spent about 2 hours checking out the different boats on the base. The guys went above the call of duty to make us feel welcome.
Dan posed in front of a 41-footer, the boat that he spent most of his time on in during his stint in Miami. He also posed at the wheel of a smaller twin-engine boat used around the Puget Sound area. He was in his element. I'm just thrilled to find out he hasn't been spinning tall tales. In fact, he knew some details about the boats that some of the crew members didn't even know. Unless...wait a second. Maybe he was making it up.
