Larry Urbanek, Member Training


We have developed a procedure to safely bring an unconscious or injured person-in-the-water on board. The procedure has been written up and new photos need to be taken to assist in ongoing training.  This ”lift strap” method will become part of regular training for all on-the-water members.

Telecommunications training ended in March for Ray Mino, Mike Murphy and Laly Santiago. They are currently in the process of taking their final exams and will soon be added to the rolls of Telecommunications qualified watch standers.

Our coxswain candidate has taken the final practice exam before his Qualification Exam and we are looking forward to having a new coxswain added to the Flotilla after the QE in April.
We had a one-hour Team Coordination Training workshop early in the month.  This satisfies the annual requirement for those who participated. A final session will be offered in November for anyone who did not make this session.
