Over the course of 25 days above the Arctic Circle, in full daylight 24 hours a day, Coast Guard Cutter Sherman (WHEC 720) sent more than 70 crewmembers to seven of the most remote communities throughout northern Alaska, including Pt. Hope, Pt. Lay, Wainwright, Barrow (Utqiagvik), Kotzebue, Savoonga, and Gambell. In partnership with North Slope Borough Search and Rescue personnel, the crew provided boating safety and cold water survival training to more than 350 members of the Inupiat people.
