coast guard inspection “We just do a walk around the vessel, make sure the hull doesn’t have anything that would keep it from being safe before they go into the water,” said Chief Petty Officer Cody Howard with U.S. Coast Guard who made quick but detailed work as he inspects F/V Maverick at Leader Creek in Naknek.
