The VE Ramp Team had their

hands full on 23 April 2011

conducting safety checks. The

flow of traffic at Navy Point did

not allow one team member to

take a break until they had to

move to the next event.

Over 25 vessel safety Checks

conducted on the 23 April. With

the same devotion to our team

our Flotilla may just out do last

year. Great job team.

At beginning of 2011 we started our kick off for the National Safe

Boating Campaign and we are going strong

The 8 hour boater‟s safety course for the

new boater, those thinking of buying a boat

and for those boaters that need the Boater‟s

Education Card find our ABS course one of

the most relaxing and easy ways for them to

get the basics and to realize there is a lot

more out there to learn. The range of topics

to cover in the eight hours opens the mind

that more is needed yet the lesson helps the

boater understand what is required to meet

the minimal Federal and State rules. All

members are encouraged to become

qualified as Instructors and help in this

education program.

Kim Sheldon teaches Legal Requirements in

the ABS course West Marine

Wade Sims teaches ABS class Chapter 1 & 2

Boat registration; boating regulation; hull

identification number; required boat safety

equipment; operating safely, and reporting

accidents; protecting the marine

environment; Federal boat laws; state

boating laws; personal watercraft

requirements taught in class helps you also

to be a better VE team member.

Eric DeVuyst discusses safety and accidents if

occurred on the water.

Moving Forward – RBS

Give a little

whistle

How to wrap

RBS in one

small package

Jiminy Cricket was right on the mark. When in trouble on a boat, “”Give a little whistle!” For the

Coast Guard Auxiliary, a sound making device is standard equipment when doing a VSC on a

paddle boat, or any boat for that matter. Flotilla 9-11 in Cary, NC took that premise a couple of

steps further and decided to embrace the core missions of RBS into one 10 minute “sales call”.

At a meeting with Susan Moran, the Town of Cary Public Information Officer (PIO), Jim Ashley,

FSO-PA-9-11 brought up the subject of “Paddle boats are „vessels‟ in the eyes of the Coast

Guard.” The question posed to the PIO was, “How about adding an extra measure of safety to the

canoes and kayaks at your town lake?” The PIO jumped at the opportunity. She then related all

the side benefits available to the paddle boat renters, the renting staff, and the Town of Cary.

Jiminy Crickets! Jim was reeling at the enthusiasm generated from his simple premise. As the

project turned out, we provided not only a VSC decal for each of 35 vessels (canoes, kayaks,

sunfish, rowboats, pedal boats) but added a free branded message whistle for each, a PV display

box at the rental station, and offered the ABS course to the three rental agents, all under the age

of 26 who require a boating education ID card in NC.

Hey, that‟s better than a hat trick. Go for (a lot of) VEs and get some PA, PE and PV

opportunities…all at the same time. Well that‟s how it‟s supposed to work, isn‟t it? You‟ll wind up

with many ways to spread our branded messages and maybe even recruit some Coast Guard

Auxiliary advocates in the process.

So, if you want to boost your annual VE numbers: find a paddle boat livery, pitch the Coast Guard

„seal of approval‟ decal and give them a little whistle.

VE Information

Division Report 1st Qtr:

Out of our nine divisions in

D8CR, five have exceeded 1st

quarter 2010 VSC's. Divisions 3

and 10 have more than doubled

their 2010 production and

Division 5 has had more than a

50% increase over 2010. Division

1 continues to lead the pack with

380 VSC's to date, almost double

the number of VSC's done by the

current runner-up, Division 10.

Flotilla 01-09 was an extremely

close second coming in at 141.

However, 108 of those were

performed by a single VE,

Beverly Whaley !!! If our Flotilla

17 has more team members get

qualified and each does over 30

VSC our Flotilla will certainly stay

ahead of the curve and help

Division 1 stand out again.

Our present VE Team is:

ALEXANDER ILNYCKYJ

CAROL CORNWALL

CHARLES SUMMERS

DOUGLAS LOVEJOY

ERIC DEVUYST

These facts come from AuxInfo, AuxData, and report written by DSO-VE – D8CR Duke Stevens

The most important thing that can help in this

preventative Search and Rescue program (Recreational

Boating Safety Program (RBS) is that we need more

people in the VE team. Please take a member not in

the VE team under your wing and help them – The

Coast Guard really does appreciate you helping in the

prevention of a SAR because that allows the Home land

Security team to focus on other just as important issues.

At Anchor - Held in place in the

water by an anchor; includes

“moored” to a buoy or anchored

vessel, and “dragging anchor.”

Auxiliary Sailboat - A sailboat also

equipped with an engine.

Cabin Motorboat - Motorboat with a

cabin that can be completely closed

by means of doors or hatches.

Capsizing - Overturning of a vessel.

The bottom must become

uppermost, except in the case of a

sailboat, which may lie on its side.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning- Death

or injury resulting from an odorless,

colorless gas generated from

auxiliary boat equipment (stoves,

heaters, refrigerators, generators,

hot water heaters, etc.) or boat

exhaust from either the boat the

person was aboard or one in close

proximity.

Collision with Fixed Object - The

striking by a vessel of any fixed

object, above or below the surface

of the water.

Collision with Floating Object -

Collision with any waterborne object

above or below the surface of the

water that is free to move with the

tide, current, or wind, except another

vessel.

Collision with Vessel - Any striking

together of two or more vessels,

regardless of operation at the time of

accident.

On Deck

Bulletin 22 April/May 2011 Page 8

Boating Terms – and Why Lookouts need to know

Cruising - Proceeding normally,

unrestricted, with an absence of

drastic rudder or engine changes.

Drifting -Under way, but proceeding

without use of engines, oars, or

sails; carried along only by the tide,

current, or wind.

Equipment Failure - Defect and/or

failure of auxiliary equipment

associated with the vessel (e.g.:

communication or navigation

equipment, life jackets, fire

extinguishers, etc.)

Excessive Speed - Operating at a

speed that is not responsible,

prudent, or legal considering the

circumstances.

No matter if you have a collision at sea, with submerged

object or collide with a vessel – It doesn‟t matter who is

at fault – you will be in the wrong and it will mess up a

good day. Photo found on line

under Vessel Collisions

Bad weather, poor

planning, a lack of

safety equipment

led to over 200

boats to capsize in

year 2009 in

Florida, and this

type of disaster

happens far too

often around

America – Why the

Auxiliary must

promote the RBS

program.

Bulletin 22 April/May 2011 Page 9

Moving Forward – why the need to learn and then teach

Floating Debris and Grappling with

Groundings

It might seem logical that

striking fixed objects such as

piers in addition to other boats

(allisions and collisions) would

be the most common cause

for damage claims, but

according to the April issue of

Seaworthy, the BoatU.S.

Marine Insurance and

Damage Avoidance Report,

it's actually striking

submerged objects, which

includes running aground.

Groundings can be avoided

by monitoring depth sounder

readings and making sure the

readings correspond with

those on your plotter or

nautical charts. If the

readings don't match, the

boat may be out of the

desired channel or off course.

Keeping in mind exactly

where the transducer is

located relative to the bottom

of the keel is also critical. If

the depth sounder gives a

reading of five feet but you

forget that the transducer is

two feet above the keel

bottom, then a grounding is

much more likely. However,

even a seasoned skipper can

end up going aground, and

when that happens it's

important to react

methodically.

or so for the water level to rise.

Attempting to throttle up and

power off ahead after

grounding is not advised, as

more damage can occur to the

hull, running gear, and engine.

Finally, whether you return to

your marina unassisted or with

a tow, continue to check for

leaks while underway and

periodically after docking; just

because a damaged boat

doesn't take on water while

underway doesn't mean it

won't when it's docked.

What can result when you have

collision with submerged object photo from an online source

After checking the bilge and

below for leaks, restart the

engine, raise the outdrive a bit,

and back off slowly. It's wise

to keep an eye on the

temperature gauge while doing

this, as red lining could

indicate that mud or sand is

being sucked into the engine.

If that doesn't work, shifting

weight by relocating

passengers or stowage may

do the trick, or it may be

feasible during an incoming

tide to break out the

sandwiches and wait an hour

Submitted by Bruce White,

BC-BLB from an e-mail dated

10 April 2011

One way to avoid floating

debris in a river or bay is to

wait several days after a

period of heavy rain in order

to give logs, branches, and

other debris time to wash

downstream. It also helps

to reduce speed and post a

sharp lookout at the bow for

surface irregularities such

as ripples or swirls. If you

do feel or hear a bump,

turn off the engine

immediately. After checking

the bilge and below for

possible leaks, inspect the

prop and outdrive for

damage. If a net or line

is fouling your prop you

may be able to unwrap it or

cut it off.

Operations - Training - Underway

All members of the Auxiliary crew (including the coxswain) carefully read and practice all

needed requirements to be ahead of the safety plans before starting out on any mission. The

very first requirement for boat mission is the assessment of the crew followed by the vessel

pre-check. You do this correctly you‟re on your way to a safe day on the water.

Lynn Mott (Boat crew trainee) and Alexander Ilnycky (Crewman) are conducting the duties as

lookout. Alex explains some of the details to look out for and some of the area significant

marks. The Coxswain is observing and unseen.

Moving Forward – Meeting and Training

Plans are constantly

being made to ensure

our Flotilla receives

the training and

direction to allow the

members to give as

much support to the

Coast Guard Active.

At our meeting we

discovered not only is

the Active duty excited

about our members

training to become

assists in the radio

room they have asked

the Flotilla to go an

extra step and try to

visit as many of the

rental locations to help

reduce the number of

violations the boaters

receive in the area.

To cover this needed

part of the RBS

program we will need

extra materials and

many more members

involved in the

Instructor

Development; Public

Affairs; Vessel

Examiner; and the

Visitor Program. For

any member who has

a desire to be involved

the IT, PV, and VE

programs can be

completed in very

easy steps. These

tests are held by Paul

Shurte and he will

makes himself

available any time a

member wants to take

any of these exams.

Please contact him and

make plans. There are

people ready to ready

to help you advance to

these important stages.

At the April meeting the

discussion of the

upcoming Division

conference came up

along with the planned

next two months

events. Please take

the time to read these

and do all you can to

help the Flotilla support

the Coast Guard.

DIVISION ONE SPRING CONFERENCE

18 JUNE 2011 – NAS PENSACOLA

NAVY GATEWAY INNS AND SUITES (NGIS) CONFERENCE CENTER

TRAINING SESSIONS

ICS-210:

ICS-210 is an abbreviated version of the ICS-300 Incident Command System course,

specifically tailored for single resource leaders at or near Level 4 or 5. Course focuses on

initial incident assessment and management (including assuming command, organization and

execution), and the development and use of ICS forms. ICS-210 or 300 is required for

Auxiliary coxswains, pilots (aircraft commanders, first pilots and co-pilots), any member of the

Trident Program, and other team/task force leaders as determined by Coast Guard

commanders.

AUXILIARY INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (AIMS):

The Auxiliary Incident Management System (AIMS) is a web-based communication system

provided by Everbridge, Inc., that allows flotilla, division and district leaders to expeditiously

communicate with and account for the safety of members during emergencies, alerts, and

post-disaster deployments. The system can also be used for routine unit communications,

saving many volunteer manpower hours spent otherwise. Course explains how the system

works and how units can set up and manage the system for optimal effect.

TEAM COORDINATION TRAINING (TCT):

Team Coordination Training (TCT) is a system used to optimize team decision-making for

mission success and safety. This annual refresher course reviews decision-making models,

strategies, risk assessment and how to maximize shared knowledge among team members for

effective coordination and safety.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION:

Course outlines sexual harassment as a civil rights issue for all military and civilian personnel

of the Coast Guard; explains Coast Guard policy regarding its definition, prohibition, prevention

and sanctions against perpetrators, both military and Auxiliary. Course also explains

processes for prevention; reporting and investigating allegations; corrective or punitive actions

for offenses or false accusations; commanders‟ obligations to cultivate unit climates intolerant

of sexual harassment.

FIRST AID/CPR TRAINING

Refresher course in basic first aid and Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). This course

will be held during both morning Sessions at Coast Guard Station Pensacola (co-located

aboard NAS Pensacola at 21 Slemmer Avenue).
