U.S. Coast Guard Cutter KUKUI

Last week, KUKUI visited the Sitka Historical Museum for an Eight Bells Event, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Cutterman Insignia and honoring the traditions and history of sea service. We were fortunate enough to have the Executive Director of the Museum with us to teach the crew about the history of the Revenue Cutter Service and the Coast Guard in Alaska. Our Senior Cutterman, boasting 11 years of sea time, struck Eight Bells at noon to wrap up the event. Thank you to our crew and the Museum Staff for a wonderful morning! 🔔🛟

A few weeks ago, KUKUI participated in Buoy Tender Roundup in Juneau! The week was full of training and professional development, networking, and the buoy tender Olympics on Wednesday with events like heat and beat, chain pull, line toss, and tug of war. Our Culinary Specialists also had a busy week of training and competitions! Thank you to all who made this week happen, and a thank you to the crews of ASPEN, ELM, CYPRESS, ELDERBERRY, and HENRY BLAKE for all the fun and competition.
