Flotilla 4 Prepares for Boat Crew Training



Flotilla 4's New Boat The "Lady Grace"


With the long and cold winter giving us a brief break Flotilla 4 is beginning Boat Crew Member training for ten members over the next few months leading up to the operational season.

Flotilla 4 will be working with Division on classroom and skills training to prepare members to become qualified as boat crew members this season.

Modifications to the Flotilla's new boat, the "Lady Grace" are underway and should be complete in time to be inspected to become a Coast Guard Auxiliary Facility by May 2009.

With a new boat and new crew members Flotilla 4 should be better able to patrol its assigned waterways and respond to emergencies while on orders.
