DULUTH, Minn. - Chief Warrant Officer Ashley Sikes, commanding officer of Coast Guard Station Duluth gives some advice to a "Duluth News Tribune" photojournalist prior to embarking on their air boat tour of the flooded areas of Fond du Lac, June 23, 2012. The Coast Guard's air boats can access heavily flooded areas to perform search and rescue missions because this special purpose craft can enter shallow water.
