U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Gavin Lotker, a boatswain's mate assigned to Coast Guard Station Manistee, prepares the deck of a response boat-small to conduct two-boat training on the Great Lakes, Sept. 28, 2023. Lotker made up a heaving line that was attached to a tow line so it could be thrown to another boat that simulated being in distress. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Seaman Christine Bills)
