"It's great. obviously, having emergency emergency personnel like those classes is it gives you a sense of comfort and safety," said Harding. "And i mean, the machinery is awesome, the boats are cool, the copters, it's just really cool to see."
A mock rescue was performed by the Coast Guard which involved jumping in the water for a rescue. Practicing rescue drills ensures crew members are prepared in case of any emergencies.

“We always see this boat here at the harbor and we never get to see the copter so that’s cool," said Harding.
