On the second day of Memorial Day Weekend Flotilla 4 had another busy day. Twelve Auxilarists participated in the activities. Vessel Examiners, Ralph and Suzanne Tomlinson and Phil Patterson, conducted over 25 Vessel Safety Checks throughout the day, educating many boaters on boating safety issues. Vessel Examiner Steve Johnson of Flotilla 6 also conducted over five Vessel Safety Checks.
Finally the Lady Grace and its crew conducted eight hours of Safety Patrol on the lake. The crew located one boat in distress and helped to tow them back to the Saylorville Marina. To support the operation radio watchstanders, John Hawkinson, Roland Newton and Trevor Henderson, kept track of the operations of the day.
Vessel Safety Checks will continue on Monday at the Marina at Big Creek State Park.
