Coast Guard officials say the meeting with the Marine Board of Investigation tomorrow will be headed by Coast Guard Captain Michael Rand, who is flying up from Washington, D.C.
Coast Guard Lt. Eric Eggan says the meeting agenda includes a reconstruction of events, the operation and maintenance history of the vessel and how to prevent such incidents in the future.
