Captain Chris Woodley joins us today to share his story from a schoolboy in Alaska, to being called to serve 24 years in the USCG. Captain Woodley and some of his colleagues are credited with some sweeping changes in the Coast Guard regulations in the 90's that continue to save dozens of lives annually of our friends and family who continue to make their living in the Bering Sea and Beyond. Safety comes up so often on almost every episode, it seemed only fitting we get one of the USCG members who was directly responsible for some safety measures that are still implemented today.
