By now, we all know the groundhog is a liar! The only sure sign of spring on the #GreatLakes is seeing a loaded buoy deck. #USCG #GreatLakes #USCGCHollyhock #ATON #WorkHardPlayHard #Erie #LakeErie #DirtyJob #Spring #PortHuron

Good morning all! What a view from the International Space Station! You know something is big when you have to look at it from low Earth orbit. #GreatLakes #MackinacBridge #StIgnace #MackinawCity #StraitsOfMackinac #LakeHuron #LakeMichigan #ISS #InternationalSpaceStation #NASA

It all comes down to teamwork and we're darn good at it. #USCG #RCMP #GreatLakes #Shiprider #Canada #Merica #Detroit #PureMichigan #Windsor

Is USCGC Alder part dolphin or is there just a bit of swell on the lake? Thanks for the photos Sue Bob Kruse! #USCG #USCGCAlder #MakeWayForTheKing #HailToTheKingBaby #FanPhoto #GreatLakes #Dolphin #Underway

It may be "spring" but our crews up north are making sure they'll be ready on the ice incase they're still needed in June. #USCG #SemperParatus #training #GreatLakes #StationStIgnace #UpperPenninsula #PureMichigan #Ice #IceRescue

More great photos thanks to the quick shutter finger of Don Detloff. USCGC Hollyhock working ATON on the St. Clair River last week. #USCG #GreatLakes #USCGCHollyhock #ATON #AidsToNavigation #StClairRiver #PureMichigan #PortHuron

Don't we need spring to show up before we can do 'spring' cleaning? ;) Keep up the work Alder! The buoys won't stand a chance. #USCG #GreatLakes #SpringCleaning #USCGCAlder #HailToTheKingBaby #MakeWayForTheKing #Duluth

Not your typical way to work buoys, but USCGC Bristol Bay is still getting it done. #USCG #GreatLakes #USCGCBristolBay #AidsToNavigation #ATON #Detroit #Ice #Icebreaking

We train just as hard to keep everyone safe - even ourselves. #USCG #GreatLakes #OhioStateHighwayPatrol #AlcoholAwareness #Training #Safety #OHIO #StationFairport

It would be awful hard to work buoys without a working crane. Good thing the crew is making sure the King will be up to the task. #USCG #GreatLakes #HailToTheKingBaby #KingOfTheWaters #USCGCAlder #MakeWayForTheKing #ATON #AidsToNavigation

It takes a lot of work to keep things moving. #USCG #GreatLakes #BlackHull #Engineer #CulinarySpecialist #USCGCBristolBay #Detroit

Need a Monday wake up? Then 'feast' your eyes on this! It may sound braggadocious, but we have some of the best culinary wizards around. #USCG #GreatLakes #CulinarySpecialist #Detroit #BelleIsle #chef
