Petty Officer 3rd Class Ryan Spencer, a boatswain's mate aboard a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat from Coast Guard Station Humboldt Bay, stabilizes a rescue basket on the stern of the MLB during night-time helicopter operations training near Eureka, Calif., March 6, 2018. Coast Guard helicopter crews routinely conduct training with small boat crews to maintain their qualifications and so that in the event of a medevac request from a boat or ship, the crews are proficient in their lifesaving techniques.
