Crew members aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Bristol Bay, a 140-foot ice-breaking tug homeported in Detroit, hoist a buoy and it's anchor as the cutter's crew participates in Operation Fall Retrieve in Lake Erie, Dec. 7, 2013. During the winter months, lake spray freezes almost instantly on the decks of the cutter making operations extremely dangerous. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Ensign Tyler Bittner)
