<p>The CGC Rush is making a historic trip to China this summer and some 3/c cadets are on board. Here is a link to a story and pictures about the boat and cadets.

<p>Also three prominent cadets, aka Sullivan, Fainer and Sapia have arrived safely in Ketchikan, Alaska as of last night for their assignment to the Acushnet.</p>

<p>Good luck and fair winds to the cadets. Sure beats spending the summer working at Mickey D's! :D</p>

<p>Boss, is this the info on the Acushnet? If it is, she's been around a while. Its a historical ship and I noticed the Merchant Marine flag on the infomation page. ;)</p>

<p>Wonder why they don't have current news on it's whereabouts. Guess no one has bothered to update the info in a while. She's a pretty thing isn't she?</p>

<p>CONGRATS TO THE COASTIES! Stay safe & fair winds to all!</p>

<p>I know some kids who must be loving being on her deck. She is a pretty thing and to know that they helped maintain a piece of history must feel pretty good indeed. Post 'em as you get 'em Boss!</p>
