Parting Shot

Just Chillin” CAPE MAY, NJ- Coast Guard Auxiliarist Russell Rosenzweig stands duty as Inport Watchstander onboard USCGC SHEARWATER that just returned to port from a frigid January patrol. USCGC SHEARWATER is an 87-foot long Marine Protector-class coastal patrol boat stationed in Cape May and her primary missions are ports, waterways and coastal security, search and rescue, law enforcement, marine environmental response, recreational boating safety and military readiness. Since 2009, Cape May has several qualified Auxiliarist Watchstanders ready to stand watch on the 87’ s. The Auxiliarist Watchstander qualification program is rigorous and the same requirements that are met by the Active Duty.
