That waiting made for some long days rap midi and nights. Search and rap midi Rescue: I think best described, Search and Rescue duty is a thankless job. Sometimes it was successful, sometimes not. And even when it was, the "feeling of success" was often ambiguous - we got to pick up the pieces. There were several occasions when at least we rap midi found something although sometimes it was in pretty bad shape, shot up and bleeding. I have memories of floodlights sweeping the dark, choppy sea for hours, without finding a trace of anything. They are haunting, lonely memories of circling and sweeping flood lights from the ship and from choppers moving slowly around in a dark. I always remember the setting as being stormy and dark, although I'm certain that some searches were carried out in daylight and calm water. I guess it really doesn't matter; when you come up empty handed, you come up empty handed. The result is the same in the sun as it is in the moonlight. It's equally as helpless.
