during Boat Crew Training in March.



Members of the flotilla are continuing their training to prepare them for qualification as boat crew members. On March 14th members practiced knot tying and line handling procedures. Drills were conducted practicing different towing, man overboard, and anchor evolutions.

Instructors Jeff Towle and Travis Daniels worked with students during the March training weekend. Students included Chuck Brudtkuhl, Brandon Butters, Paul Faganel, Wendy Faganel, John Hawkinson, Doug Jansen, and Phil Patterson.

Work continued on the Lady Grace as it was made ready for inspection to become a Coast Guard Auxiliary Facility.
