“We’re excited to open our doors to our community and we welcome them to come take a look at what we do,” said Senior Chief Petty Officer Jeremiah Wolf, Station Bodega Bay's officer-in-charge. “We’re proud to serve this community. We hope the public takes this opportunity to come out and learn about the Coast Guard’s role in maritime safety and security along the California coast and meet some of our awesome partner agencies.”

Coast Guard motor lifeboat crews from Station Bodega Bay conduct surf training with a 47-foot motor lifeboat Saturday, Sept. 12. Motor lifeboat crews took advantage of an early season swell that brought consistent 15-foot surf to the area. The crews train to ensure they are prepared to respond to distress calls and maritime emergencies during storms that bring high seas and heavy weather.
