A brief interview with Petty Officer Second Class Katya Fons from the Coast Guard Cutter Maple (WLB-207) on what the Buoy Tender Round-up is, some of the events from it, and her experiences within the Aids to Navigation world in Portsmouth, Virginia, on Oct. 26, 2023. Events included the Survival Swim, Chain Pull, Spin & Hook, Tug-O-War, and the Heat and Beat. All events relate to the Aids to Navigation (ATON) mission and underway operations. The Round-up gives crews an opportunity to compete, build camaraderie, and socialize with others that share their missions. (U.S. Coast Guard Video by Petty Officer 2nd Class Ryan L. Noel)
