George Stancil and Ed Walters practice rescuing Herman |
February was a good month for
getting out on the water. Our boat crews
worked on training, safety patrols and the best procedures for retrieving our
new man-overboard dummy.
Besides our member and staff meetings we also had a coxswain meeting
to cover the man-overboard (MOB) issues.
We also reviewed current operations and held an open-issues
session. It’s now easier to refuel at
Station FMB.
February Patrols: Twelve total, two with Station Fort Myers
Beach. One was side and stern towing
from us and from FMB. The other was
stern towing from us and work with Herman the dummy.
