Members of the Coast Guard Cutter Fir, a 225-foot buoy tender homeported in Astoria, Ore., stand by as a 20-foot buoy is loaded onto the deck for inspection in Astoria, Ore., Sept. 11, 2014. Buoys are inspected to ensure lights are working properly, the hull in good shape and the chain connecting to a sinker on the bottom of the river or ocean has not worn too thin.
