Petty Officer Ed Botting of Aids to Navigation Team, Galveston pilots a fork lift through the buoy yard here Sept. 17, 2008, carrying wood that will be used to rebuild one of about 20 ranges that were damaged by Hurricane Ike. More than 90 percent of the buoys and ranges in the Houston ship channel were damaged or destroyed by the storm and there is a massive effort underway to turn Sector Field Office Galveston into the largest buoy yard in the Coast Guard. More than 10 Coast Guard Cutters have been dispatched to Sector Field Office Galveston to begin repairing the ship channel in an effort to re-open the port as quickly as possible.
