The USCG bouytender Kukui invited auxiliary and guests for tours and a service ride.
Glenn Martinez,IPFC, and Rod Oishi, VFC, attended,
as well as Ralph Scrivano,
who worked in the galley serving lunch.
The bouytender lifted and serviced bouys
in front of Kewelo basin
and Ali Wai harbor during the ride.
One of the most vital and difficult jobs the Coast Guard performs,
it was a great experience to watch the ship and the USCG in action!
