USCG Bridle or Tackle

I'd be able to tell you for sure but I didn't have a camera with a better zoom this morning. (The batteries were dead in my Canon Powershot S2, the Canon Rebel XTi is in the shop for reasons I'd rather not discuss until I get it back, and I can't get film developed for the Holga CFN120 or Kodak Brownie 2 so I just had the little Panasonic FX01*) It's ONE of them though.

The Bridle is from Southwest Harbor and the Tackle is from Rockland. I have tried to wrangle every Coast Guard connection I have to get a ride on one of them, but alas. This is as close as I could get today.

  1. Couldn't you have just walked right out on the ice today to get closer to the boat? :)

  2. It's not the listing of your "gear" I like (because God know's that wears after a while), it's hearing where you keep it...and even then it's just relatively warm, rather than hot.
