A Vessel Examiner is an extremely prestigious and important position within the Coast Guard world. It is a service that offers the boating world a chance to enjoy their boat and boating pleasures in a safe manner and the peace of mind knowing their boat has all the safety equipment that is required by Coast Guard standards.
Charlie Reiner, FSO-VE, will instruct a formal classroom training program that will be offered to anyone interested in becoming a vessel examiner.
The first class will begin Wednesday evening, March 3rd at 6:30 P.M. We will meet in the training room or the mess deck at Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet, whichever area will be available. The class will be approximately 1&1/2 to 2 hours long and may run for possibly 3 consecutive Wednesday evenings.
If you have an interest in this program, contact Stu Landau.

The United States
Coast Guard Auxiliary:
is the civilian component of the US Coast Guard. Founded
in 1939 by an Act of Congress as the US Coast Guard
Reserves and re-designated the Auxiliary in 1941.
The 29,000 plus volunteer members donate thousands of
hours in support of Coast Guard missions.
The Coast
Guard does more than just Search and Rescue, and with
the exception of direct law enforcement and military
action, the Auxiliary is there, side by side, working
with regular and reserve Coast Guard units every step of
the way.
We in Flotilla 51 work directly with the men and women of
the US Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet.
