Ronald Kram, a Coast Guard Auxiliarist, inspects an immersion suit aboard the Willie K, a crab vessel moored in Spud Point Marina in Bodega Bay, Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012. Every year Coast Guard members conduct free, dock-side inspections of crab vessels before the opening of crab season as part of Operation Safe Crab, an initiative to reduce the loss of lives and fishing vessels in the west coast crab fleet.
