Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - The commander of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Juneau was on display Wednesday.
It was not where departing Capt. Stephen R. (Ray) White likes to be, dressed in his white uniform, showcasing the honors that have been bestowed upon him, wearing the distinctions that he earned and feels blessed to receive but believes belong to others. Being paraded in front of those he admires, yet having those admiring him. Being praised when he would rather be the one praising and shouting “Ahoy” to those in sight.
He longed for 30 minutes prior. The change of command, where outgoing sector commanders, in this case White, and incoming officers, in this case Capt. Darwin A. Jensen, were only acknowledged. As they should be.

KODIAK, Alaska The Coast Guard rescued three hunters Thursday from a beached vessel in Barlow Cove, approximately 15 miles northwest of Juneau.
Coast Guard cutter Bailey Barco launched a small boat crew who picked up the hunters from the shoreline and transferred them to a Coast Guard Station Juneau 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew. The Station Juneau boat crew transported them to awaiting emergency medical services at Statter Harbor.
Watchstanders in the Sector Juneau command center received initial notification from the hunters at approximately 12:30 p.m., reporting they had intentionally beached their boat to prevent the flooding vessel from sinking.
