we have had hardly any helicopter traffic from them. They usually check the coastline at least twice a day as there is an unusually dangerous area for boats nearby.

But those funds had run out, so the next paycheck is uncovered.

The House did send a bill to fund Homeland Security along with the general funding bill. The Senate could pass the Homeland Security funding bill, which would fund the Coast Guard. I also recall reading that the Coast Guard will get one more payment beyond the shutdown.
