Coast Guard Cutter Acushnet Journal Entry

Journal Entry - Nov. 12 , 2008 - Bering Sea/Gulf of Alaska

As we depart the Bering Sea and begin our trip across the Gulf of Alaska...

A poem from an unknown author:

Full many a sailor points with pride

To cruises o'er the ocean wide;

But they cannot compare with me,

For I have sailed the Bering Sea.

While though you've weathered fiercest gale

And every ocean you have sailed;

You cannot a salty sailor be

Until you've sailed the Bering Sea.
