Yesterday we talked about risky water-based work, where people sometimes die in the course of their workday in commerical maritime professions, like marine piloting and fishing.
Today we talk about the people who go out to rescue those people when they get in trouble. That’s the Coast Guard, another whole realm of risk. They’re trained to go out in the most perilous situations and bring people back alive.

Today, a story from Atlantic Canada, where a mariner fell from a pilot boat this week in the course of a night’s work, and did not survive. We’ll talk about the inherent hazards in maritime jobs, and the risks those professionals take to bring us our stuff, or that delicious seafood dinner.
And speaking of risky maritime professions that also have a high profile around here… tomorrow we’ll talk about the Coast Guard.

Today on the river, we have a cool ocean-going tugboat of many talents headed for Alaska, and a wonderfully reassuring complement of wheat-bearing ships. All proof that the world continues to spin on its axis, and we are all still here.
