Chief Petty Officer Jesse Bruce, officer in charge of Aids to Navigation Team Kennewick, and other members of the team make their way from buoy-to-buoy on Lake Roosevelt in northeastern Washington state during a recent maintenance operation. The team works on the lake to repair mooring chains, replace decals, ensure proper position of the buoys and conduct other aid maintenance there. Recreational and commercial boaters use the aids while they work and play on the popular lake. More than 1.5 million people visit the lake annually, and it is ANT Kennewick’s responsibility to make sure the aids are serviceable and in good condition to ensure boaters travel safely on the waterway.
