Our host, Petty Officer Jason Fowler, explained the role and duties of the Michigan City Station..


After finding out about the station's role, we went into the totally secured area for a look around..


The first stop was by the staion's two boats. The Michigan City Station is a small station but the two boats are two of the best the Coast Guard have.


The biggger boat is one those that when it is inverted, it will right itself.. The small boat will do over 60, so that they can reach a problem quickly..


Then we got to tour the big boat, Sue tried out one of the seats...
