Personal Floatation Device Panda, and Coast Guard Auxiliarists Mark Eldridge and Chuck Feldman point out the orange vessel safety check decal they affixed to the 45-foot response boat from Coast Guard Station St. Ignace, Mich., May 17, 2014. The safety checks are offered at no cost by the Coast Guard Auxiliary, and include a full review of all the safety equipment required by federal law as well as an informal inspection of the vessel to ensure it is ready for the water.
