Crew members stationed aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Waesche lower one of the ship's small-boats over the side to perform maintenance on the anchor pockets during the final leg of the Waesche's transit to its new home port in Alameda, Calif., Feb 26. The Waesche is scheduled to pull into its new homeport for the first time, Feb. 28, after a two-month transit, which took the ship and its crew from Pascagoula, Miss., across the Caribbean Ocean, through the Panama Canal and north through the Pacific Ocean and along the west coast of North America.
