A delegation from Flotilla 96 was on hand to receive the document
at City Hall recently and help kick off a variety of safe boating events
beginning on Saturday, May 19, at Fish Tale Marina.
The festivities will include free vessel examinations, handy booklets
with safe boating tips, and demonstrations by the Coast Guard’s 33-foot rapid
response boat. The flotilla’s
communications trailer will be on the site with a certified telecommunications
operator in regular contact with a safety patrol from Wiggins Pass.
If you haven’t made arrangements to participate in these activities
at Fish Tale, Lover’s Key and Wiggins Pass, please contact Greg Guederian (gguederian@comast.net) or Jim Mayer (jmayer@embarqmail.net).
