GuestsHow Can You Help?
Many times the Boating Public, and the Public in general, asks
"What can I do to help you guys?". Now more than ever, we could use your help.
The following would go a long way to helping the US Coast Guard and the
US Coast Guard Auxiliary:
1. Be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious or unusual activities
2. Have everyone on your boat wear a life jacket (PFD) to show their support
for the Team Coast Guard men and women on patrol
3. Consider joining the Coast Guard Auxiliary and put yourself, and your boat,
to work in support of the Coast Guard
For more information, please contact Pat Mc Hugh.
SAFETY TIPS
Before you leave your house, give a family member or a friend
your schedule so they know where you will be and when you plan
to return. Add details of your boat: type, make length and
color of the hull, vessel name, and registration #.
REMINDERS:
- Ensure you have sufficient life vests for all on board.
- Children 14 years of age and under are required to wear
life vests at all times. This is now law in New Jersey,
New York, and many other states.
- Check for enough fuel, water, and food to get you where
you want to go and back, with extra for unexpected delays.
- Recommend you have a VHF marine radio as well as a GPS
unit on board. In the event of an emergency, you can call
for help and give your position.
- Have current and readily available charts on board.
- Always keep a lookout and make sure your lights are working.
- Know and follow Navigation Rules.
If you're not a member of the U.S.C.G. Auxiliary, perhaps you should consider it?
