We are entering week six of the People’s Choice award for this year’s Coast Guard Photo Contest. You can view all the photos featured on the blog on the Coast Guard Flickr account under a set called “People’s Choice 2010.” Each embedded photo also links back to the Flickr set.

In week eight, we will announce how the contest will work.  Stay tuned for more details…

Here is the sixth set of photos…
