Training to become proficient in heavy weather helps prepare these crews to respond to mariners in distress during adverse weather conditions, and Station Cape May is one of only four heavy weather stations in the Coast Guard authorized to operate the RB-M platform in seas up to 12 feet and winds of 50 knots with a certified heavy weather coxswain.
