Happy Labor Day to all former, present, and future workers! As we begin our Fall season, you’ll notice
more opportunities in all areas of Auxiliary activities – VEs, safety patrols, public education classes,
program visitors, and member training. Please watch the calendars to take advantage of these
opportunities.
Division updates: [Background for new-ish members: Our Flotilla is part of Division 3, along with 5
other Flotillas in Broward County. Our Division is part of District 7, which includes 17 Divisions, each
with five or more Flotillas in southeastern US and the Caribbean. Thus, we have the unique identifier of
070-03-06]. The District Training (DTRAIN) conference will be Sept. 27-29 in Orlando. During that
time, the FC (Andrea), VFC (Jim), and IPFC (Bill) will be out of town. For urgent issues, please call our
cell phone numbers. In addition, we have confirmed that the Division 3 Change of Watch will take place
on December 15 at Pier 66 in Ft. Lauderdale (one month before our own Flotilla’s CoW – if you want to
attend only one CoW, please attend ours on Jan. 19).
Thank you to everyone for paying your 2014 dues! We are finishing up collection for 2014. Sadly for
us, a few members are transferring to other Flotillas: Jason Seigler to Flotilla 0800307 in Biloxi, Miss;
Cynthia DeSalvo and Loretta White to 0140604 in New York; and soon the Von Zwehls to Flotilla
32. We will miss you all, and please remember you are still part of our Auxiliary “family.” We welcome
you back at any time.
Please get started with the LMS classes, if you haven’t already. About 25% of our members have
started (or finished!) them (see Tom Kegan’s article), and if you’re not in that group, it’s time. If you
want a head start, come to the base on Saturday mornings 9-11 for a coached session. We have a few
computers or you can bring your laptop and headphones. We’ll have people available to help get you
started. Please contact me or Tom Kegan to RSVP a computer.
Sept. 5 – Monthly meeting, 7:30 PM, with a mini-training on the new AUXSAR course by Tom
Kegan. We will also have a formal farewell to Katherine Efthimiou, our loyal and energetic AUXLO
for the last 3 years. Katherine will have her last day at Station Lauderdale on Sept. 27, and then go on
“terminal leave” (another way of saying she’ll be discharged from the Coast Guard). She can tell us
about her college plans at the meeting. Please join us in giving her a rousing send-off as she begins the
next stage of her life – I’m sure her future will be bright!
Please mark your calendars for September:

Vessel Examination
August has been a slow month. We had an increase of about 5 VE’s this month.
Our VE class is scheduled for Sept 28th
. I hope to get a good turnout. I am
looking forward to the weather cooling down, and the snow birds returning so we
can get our count up. Have a good holiday!!!!

Operations
.
The flotilla is looking to add more facilities to its fleet. Do you have a boat that
is in good shape and less than 40 feet in length? Would you be willing to offer
it up for use as a facility for use by your flotilla operations crew? If you
answered yes to any of these questions, or would like any information as to what is involved, please
reach out to me at the email above the article under my name.
Local fueling for auxiliary facilities has been approved, so we will no longer have to transit to station Ft.
Lauderdale to re-fuel. With approved orders and proper receipts, the reimbursement process is working
very smoothly through the new AOM (Auxiliary Order management system), with timely
reimbursements.

Navigation Services
Fort Lauderdale Port Everglades The US Navy, South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility (SFOMF) will be conducting range
operations offshore immediately east and south of Port Everglades Inlet. The operations are scheduled at
0600 on 09/07/13 to 2400 on 09/15/13. The vessel will be working between 450 ft and 850 ft of water
approximately 2 NM to nine NM off shore, and from ½ NM and four NM south of the Port Everglades
Inlet. The OSV HOS Explorer will be deploying ROV and recovering cables off the sea floor and will
be restricted in maneuverability. The cables will be brought to the surface for the installation of the
equipment on the sea floor and will remain tethered to the sea floor. All vessels are advised to stay clear
of the OSV HOS Explorer during the operations.
Hillsboro Inlet Bridge Repairs
Will be placed on a ½-hour schedule opening on the top of the hour and bottom of the hour between
0900-1600 daily from 09/09/13 to 09/11/13. The repairs will involve reducing the vertical clearance at
times, as a snooper truck will be utilized. Mariners are requested to maintain minimum wake through
this area. Ref: LNM 33-13 Chart: 11467
The Biscayne Bay Yacht Club Will sponsor the 47th Annual Lime Cup Regatta on 09/28/13, 1000-1700. There
will be approximately 15 sailing vessels, ranging between 20 to 50 feet, racing
offshore on the Atlantic Ocean between Miami to Fort Lauderdale.
If the biological brilliance Bivalve mollusks with a 2 part hinged shell containing a soft-bodied clams, oysters, mussels, scallops, fails to impress, then
consider that NOAA estimated the 2011 economic value of commercial bivalve mollusk harvesting at
about $1 billion annually in the U.S., and the weight of the harvest was estimated at 153.6 million
pounds.

[email protected] There was no About Boating Safety Class (ABS) in August. Attendance is historically low
during summer break. The next ABS class is scheduled for Saturday, September 21st. Congratulations to Barry Ruchowitz on becoming an Instructor!
The Log Publication USCGAUX Flotilla 36 Boca Raton, Florida
America’s Waterway Watch is a public outreach program
encouraging participants to simply report suspicious activity to the
Coast Guard and/or other law enforcement agencies. Unlike some
Neighborhood Watch programs, for example, you are not formally joining an organization -- there are
no meetings, membership cards or membership requirements -- and you do not become an agent of the
Coast Guard or any other law enforcement agency.
What is Suspicious Activity?
What do we mean by suspicious activity? Suspicious Activity is a pattern of behavior that arouses a
“gut feeling” that something is not right. Trust your intuition, but remember it is the behavior of
individuals that is suspicious, not their ethnic, religious, or national origin. For example, suppose you
see people of an obviously different ethnic or national background fishing off a pier or near a secure
facility. The mere fact that they are “different” is not important. People fishing near the water by itself
is obviously not a suspicious activity. In fact, if they weren’t fishing that might be a trigger to alert you
they were engaging in Suspicious Activity. Keep in mind that "People aren't suspicious, behavior is,".
Where Should I Look for "Suspicious Activity”?
Watch for suspicious activities of vessels and individuals in locations such as:
1. Under and around bridges, tunnels, or overpasses
2. Near commercial areas or services like ports, fuel docks, cruise ships, or marinas.
3. Near industrial facilities like power plants and oil, chemical, or water intake facilities.
4. Near military bases and vessels, other government facilities, or security zones
5. In and around passenger terminals, ferries, and day cruise lines
6. Near railroad lines serving any of the above listed facilities.
You are NOT expected to patrol any particular area. Your expertise in recognizing suspicious activity is
derived from your familiarity with surroundings you operate within while engaged in your normal work
or recreation around the waterfront.
The following is the schedule for upcoming 2013 ABS boating classes for Flotilla 36, Boca Raton:
° Sept 21 ° Oct 12 ° Dec 7
To report suspicious activity:
Call the National Response Center at 877-24WATCH
If there is immediate danger to life or property, call 911 or the U.S. Coast Guard on Channel 16

DIVERSITY – Excerpt from U.S. Coast Guard Human Relations Policy Statement
(Applies to the Auxiliary): “We must take positive steps to avoid any vestige of
discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, age, national origins, or mental or
physical handicap in any thoughts of actions affecting our personnel, those seeking employment with us,
or those entitled to benefits under any Coast Guard sponsored programs. In addition we must become
pro-active in working with communities around the country to ensure the smooth assimilation of all
Coast Guard personnel.

HAPPY 223rd
Birthday
US Coast Guard!!!!
Article from www.coastguardchannel.com
Today, August 4th marks Coast Guard Day and the 223rd Birthday for the United States Coast
Guard! As we all know, Coast Guard Day recognizes the day in 1790 when the United States Coast
Guard was founded as the Revenue-Marine by Alexander Hamilton. It's always great to take the time to
honor our servicemen and women past and present and the dedication they have shown to our country
through their work with the Coast Guard. I remember my visit to Grand Haven, Michigan on Coast
Guard Day six years ago. The Coast Guard Channel had such a great time covering all the events there.
We hope to one day get back and see how much it has grown and to share it with all our viewers. This
year the Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven celebrates 89 years. We hope all of those attending the
Festival have a great time and to those that will be celebrating at home or on-duty thank you for your
service!
The Log Publication USCGAUX Flotilla 36 Boca Raton, Florida
And of course we are not the only ones honoring the Coast Guard this month, we just got wind of this
great program from Stray Boots. Stray Boots, a New York City tech startup that creates scavenger hunt-
style walking tours in various cities, has launched a military appreciation program with the goal of
giving a free tour to every military family across the country. The Stray Boots military appreciation
program runs through the summer. Any active or former military personnel can claim their tour for up to
six people by visiting strayboots.com/military. Vouchers are also available at the USO offices in the
New York Port Authority and Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn with more locations coming on-line soon. This
sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to get to know a city (maybe even your own) or a city you may
already be planning to visit. Share it with family and friends and look within the coming week the
opportunity to win some additional tours as we will be giving them away via our Coast Guard Channel
Facebook page. Go and LIKE IT now if you would like to have the opportunity to win.
Powerful and Meaningful
In honor of our upcoming Coast Guard Day, I chose the first photo
as I find it powerful--not only in the imagery but also in the way that
these recruits have just joined the Coast Guard and are going to
dedicate their lives to protect and serve our country. They are just
staring a new journey in their lives and will be recognized for all
they do on August 4th for years to come. This photo, taken by
Seaman Jennifer Nease, features Coast Guard recruits as they march
in a Sunset Parade aboard Training Center Cape May. Sunset
Parades are impressive military displays consisting of marching
troops, the Recruit Silent Drill Team, the Recruit Band, cannon fire
and a low-level helicopter flyover. All of these activities are free and open to the public. On this day,
this sunset parade drew more than 435 visitors to the base.
Our next photo on the right was captured by Petty Officer 2nd Class Erik Swanson. It features
Conductor Bramwell Tovey as he leads the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and the Coast Guard
Band in a musical piece during the Star-Spangled Celebration held at Lincoln Center's Avery Hall.
Based at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., the
Coast Guard Band, a 55-member ensemble performed with the
orchestra to celebrate Independence Day. Capt Kenneth Megan,
the Coast Guard Band conductor, stated, “The Coast Guard Band
has played in many great halls around the world, but to perform
with the Philharmonic Orchestra in Avery Hall is just thrilling - a
career highlight.”
The Coast Guard Band was organized in March 1925 with the
assistance of Lt. Charles Benter, leader of the U.S. Navy Band; Dr.
Walter Damrosch, conductor of the New York Philharmonic; and
“American March King” John Philip Sousa, former director of the
United States Marine Band. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed congressional legislation
resulting in the Coast Guard Band becoming the permanent, official musical representative of the
nation’s oldest continuous seagoing service.

Avoid 5 Serious Boating Mistakes… Posted: February 1, 2013
Most on-water accidents are avoidable. Here’s how.
By: Mike Baron, U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Division
May 2012: Three members of a family are fishing on the Columbia River in Oregon. They anchor their
18-foot boat in an area known for fast, treacherous and deep water. The boat swamps and sinks nearly
The Log Publication USCGAUX Flotilla 36 Boca Raton, Florida
instantly as they struggle to bring in a stuck anchor. While neighboring boats are able to save two of the
boaters, a 13-year-old boy drowns. None of the family wore life jackets.
July 2012: Scores of boats anchor near a local Independence Day fireworks show near Long Island.
Possibly capsized by wakes from larger boats, a 34-foot cabin cruiser sinks quickly, drowning three
children. Local media report that only six life jackets were available for 27 passengers. Survivors
question whether the party exceeded the boat’s capacity.
August 2012: A Maryland statesman is operating a motorboat that collides with another boat, causing
serious injuries to six people. The struck boat sinks, and the powerboat is demolished. A witness reports
the powerboat was going extremely fast, possibly at full throttle. The operator admits to being
intoxicated while operating his boat, begging for forgiveness. These incidents have one thing in
common: They were preventable. Of the top 10 factors influencing boating accidents, six are directly
within operator control, and risks from the remainder can be significantly diminished with the proper
training, caution and equipment. Following are several tips for avoiding some of the most serious
boating mistakes.
Mistake 1: Underestimating What It Takes to Operate a Boat
Both experienced and novice boaters can underestimate the level of knowledge, skill and experience
required to operate a boat effectively and safely. From trailering and launching, to safe anchoring, to
docking and undocking, the equipment, navigation, handling and rules of the road are completely
different than on land. Serious accidents, including swamping and capsizing, often result from simple
failures such as loading a boat properly and within capacity or anchoring safely. Studying the rules of
the road, getting safe boating instruction, and ensuring you know and understand your boat are all key to
avoiding accidents.
Mistake 2: Inattention
The beauty and fun of being on the water can make boating seem carefree and effortless. A brief lapse in
attention is often behind groundings, collisions and capsizing. Many accidents occur late in the day,
when operators are fatigued. Many involve collisions with markers, jetties and other obstacles that are
visible and avoidable. The water may seem calm and familiar, but operator attention and diligence are
vital.
Mistake 3: Boating Under the Influence
Fun, relaxation and friendship go hand in hand with boating. While no amount of alcohol is safe for a
boat operator, the sun and fun that make boating so enjoyable can also make alcohol more dangerous for
passengers. Dehydration, physical exertion and fatigue can accelerate and amplify the effects of alcohol,
more quickly impairing judgment and coordination, which increase the chances of risky behavior and
injury, and the danger of falling overboard. Intoxicated individuals on board pose an increased risk of
injury to themselves and others.
Mistake 4: Failing to Recognize Risks
Bad weather, unfamiliar locales and hazardous waters are risks that boaters sometimes fail to account
for. Responsible boaters learn to respect the weather and to check conditions prelaunch and while on the
water to avoid sudden storms. While exploring new areas is part of the fun, it’s smart to check with local
The Log Publication USCGAUX Flotilla 36 Boca Raton, Florida
boating authorities if you’re heading out on an unfamiliar body of water. They can point out known
hazards and offer navigation tips.
Mistake 5: Underpreparing for Emergencies
Filing a float plan and ensuring that proper emergency and communication equipment are present and
working are essential safety precautions. But preparation only begins there. Passengers, as well as the
operator, need to know basic emergency procedures, how to communicate and how to use emergency
equipment if the operator becomes incapacitated. Practicing with equipment is particularly important, as
every moment is precious in an emergency. It’s smart to have all aboard know and practice the basics of
safe rescue techniques for a person in the water (PIW) (or “man overboard”). Finally, ensure that
everyone aboard wears a life jacket at all times. If something goes wrong or there is a fall overboard,
there is often no time and no way to access a life jacket.
The Coast Guard provides a wide range of safety information and resources through its Boating Safety
Resource Center. For more information, visit uscgboating.org.
