In the immortal words of Thor Wentz; “Keep your composure and finish the job.”

Unfortunately, we lost another fellow finned brother, USCG Rescue Swimmer #80 Thor Wentz. He was a great man that made a huge impact in the USCG Rescue Swimmer community. I only had the chance to be around him at EMT RECERT and , but even in those short times, he made a big impact.

May you have blue skies and a solid tailwind. Rest in peace brother.

With so much talk about Ai (artificial intelligence 🤖) taking over the world, we thought it would be fun to ask Bing image generator what helicopter SAR looks like. It's safe to say, our jobs are safe. 😅 Which one is your favorite?

Well this is cool.

I’m glad I signed up this year. I didn’t even think I was going to be able to complete the Open based on my schedule before the Open workouts this year.

The week before the Open, I was in , CA for the , Verticon.
I completed 24.1 in Orlando, FL at .

After the workout I stayed in , FL working with , and . Plus a flight to Saudi Arabia.
24.2 completed in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia.

Then, I had a full week of work all around Saudi Arabia- from the east coast to the west coast to the middle and back to the east coast.
24.3 completed in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia.

I didn’t even think I would make it in the top 25%. Especially after my daughter crushed me this year.

However, I never stopped training. I didn’t quit. So, now, let’s see how far I can go in this next round. Bring on the Quarter Finals!

Thanks and .
