In this episode of the podcast, Bela Musits interviews Chris D’Amelio.  Chris is a retired United States Coast Guard Surfman.  We discussed the many responsibilities a USCG Surfman has and several of the rescues Chris participated in.  Chris also wrote a book about his USCG experience titled, Life and Death at Cape Disappointment.  It is a great read and I highly recommend it. This is a really inspiring episode, so please give it a listen.  You can find Chris’ book on any of the online book sellers.
