Never had the pleasure. It wasn't a regular manned station at the time. I did spend quite a bit of time out of the Cape and loved every day of it. We often got down to Harkers Island for relaxation; one of the Harkers was stationed with me.

That's too bad as Emerald Isle is a wonderful little town. Great balance between touristy and secluded.

We used to vacation right down the street from there every summer (the condos we stayed at were on Coast Guard Rd.) and on several occasions my father would bring my brother and I to the CG station. You didn't even need to schedule anything. We would just show up and the Coasties there would give us a full tour of the facilities and let us play around on the computers. Those visits gave me an early respect for the people in the Guard.
