Fuel restrictions and building renovation in September curtailed
most of the flotilla’s usual activities.
Neil Arnal, Vessel
Examinations
Examiners worked at Lovers Key boat ramp on September 8th
and 29th. Only 13 vessel
safety checks reported for the month. We
have contacted Fish Tale Marina, Snook Bight Marina, Bonita Bay Marina and
Pelican Isle Yacht Club to arrange for vessel safety checks at those sites in
addition to our usual Saturday sites.
Larry Urbanek, Member
Training
Due to patrol stand-down in September, no on-the-water training
took place. Requalification training
resumes in October. We have one requal
for coxswain and three active candidates for crew. One new coxswain is also in this cycle to be
tested.
A new crew class and a new
class for telecommunications operators begin in October. A First Aid and CPR class is also scheduled
for October.
Michael Clukey, Public
Education
About Boating Safely starts on October 13th and
continues on October 20th. We
are working on the schedule for next year.
