CHESAPEAKE BAY--Petty Officer Erika Krol of Mount Clemens, Mich., is treated to a fish story by a young angler aboard a pleasure craft Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2007, near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Krol, a crewman aboard the CGC Cochito, was part of a five-person crew conducting boardings of recreational vessels like this one to ensure they met federal and state safety requirements, including making sure all passengers less than thirteen years of age are wearing personal flotation devices. The Cochito is an 87-foot patrol boat based in Norfolk, Va., whose missions include port and waterways safety and security, enforcement of federal fisheries regulations, and search and rescue.
