He completely crushed it in the qualifying round (1st place, "Run of the Night," did very well in the city finals (4th place), but went out during stage 1 of the Vegas finals :(<br /><br />He was still quite amazing.Magsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870589034885773525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-76492359792054673072015-09-04T09:55:40.008-05:002015-09-04T09:55:40.008-05:00I have nothing but respect for those rescue swimme...I have nothing but respect for those rescue swimmers.

Those Coast Guard rescue guys ('n' gals) are amazing. Whenever one of the big orange MH-65's goes over I hope it's a training mission and not someone in danger of their life - but too often it is.<br /><br />If you're ever on the Southern Oregon coast be sure to visit the Coast Guard museum in Port Orford, on Coast Guard Hill. They have a rescue boat on display that was used for ocean rescues before the age of helicopters. They launched from a ramp in a tiny cove in conditions of waves and weather that sometimes made it impossible to return to station until after the storm had passed. Their slogan was "You have to go out, you don't have to come back."<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
