Coast Guard Auxiliary Reports

Flotilla 12 members at Station Pensacola.

Members of Flotilla 12 had the honor of attending the Tall Ship gathering in Pensacola to provide security. Representing our Flotilla were Bob Asztalos, Norma Hill and Phil Hill. Also on patrol was Curtis Cantrell from the flotilla in Pensacola.
While on patrol, the crew received a call for a vessel taking on water. When the crew arrived on scene, thankfully, the active-duty Coast Guard were also on scene and were able to render assistance.
Throughout the event, the Auxiliary monitored the water to ensure other boaters maintained a safe distance from the tall ships. Patrons were able to tour the ships and explore the venue.
A great time was had by all in attendance.
Thanks to Sherrie, we will always remember safe boating is no accident!
