Rare! Go inside a Coast Guard rescue hovercraft!

The most unique vessels in the Canadian Coast Guard fleet are its hovercraft. There are 4 hovercraft in the fleet -- two are based in Eastern Canada, and two are based in British Columbia.
We recently had the privilege to go aboard the Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft Moytel when it was in Victoria, British Columbia, and we had the pleasure to speak with Gary Nolan, the First Officer on CCGS Moytel.
In this video you will hear about the capabilities of the hovercraft Moytel, whose primary role is Search and Rescue (SAR). The hovercraft can do a multitude of secondary roles, and you'll hear all about them and how a hovercraft operates in this video.
I want to thank Gary Nolan of the Canadian Coast Guard for his time and kindness to tour us on the hovercraft Moytel.
Go Bold!

Great episode! Just out of curiosity, there was supposed to be an episode on one of the few RCAF pilots to fly the F22. Is that interview still set to release?

If your paramedics, why no IV's or drugs

[@goboldwithjoeteyattariwala]

There are different levels of Paramedics in terms of what drugs they are able to administer. That's why the Coast Guard works with the BC Ambulance Service as necessary.

[@garynolan4695]

CCG carry Epinephrine, Nitroglycerin, ASA, Naloxone, Glucogel, Entonox and Activated Charcoal for PSP. Although baseline EMR Paramedics do administer IV’s it is an internal CCG policy that we do not, therefore we work alongside BCEHS depending on the severity and location of incidents.
