Coast Guard helicopter

A Coast Guard helicopter just buzzed Sakonnet and Sachuest Points and then continued West at a high rate of speed. Hopefully they were just on a training run.

Maybe they're training with Sta Pt. Judith. We did it a couple of times a month when I was at the Hill

There was what looked like a SAR Blackhawk running by your shop an hour ago that cruised down by first beech turned the corner at Land's End and headed back up the harbor where I lost it from sight... Not sure if they were related...

Just hit the dock 30min ago in Galilee. We were out from 8-1215
Heard nothing other than some flare training in New Bedford.
No Distress calls or anything locally on 16/13

The Blackhawk was not in a hurry. Tooling along maybe at 60...

That's good. Last 2 times I've seen a CG heli motoring past 2nd beach it wasn't good news.
