Pat Stadt, one of our West River catamaran sailors who is a '79 graduate of the Coast Guard academy, has this year once again left the MD area for an assignment. This time, it's as the first commanding officer of the first new USCG ship in a very long time. This past weekend was the Christening of the USCGC Bertholf in Pascagoula.
Pat has traded 18' at 160lbs for 418' at 4300lt!
Check out the CG web site, that's Pat on the left, his new ship in the background. Check out the Northrop Grumman site for more info on the ship and its namesake.
Congratulations to Pat and the Coast Guard!
