I would like to thank and recognize Ted and Becky Lutjen for hosting the Valentine/Pat’s farewell party.

It was a great party with great food, fellowship, and music that was provided by “The Decades”.

Andrea Rutherfoord

Vice Flotilla Commander

Many, many thanks to Becky and Ted Lutjen for their Valentine party on Feb. 11. We had this

opportunity to wish Pat and Nancy Feighery farewell and hear some great 60’s music from “The

Decades,” featuring our Division Vice-Captain, Dan Hess. We were treated to dancing music, fine food,

and even “local” singers – Marie Duda and Pat Feighery each took a turn at the microphone. Thanks to

all who attended and brought such delicious food – everything was outstanding!

March brings many opportunities for you to spend time with the public – we need volunteers for the Sea

Turtle Day at Gumbo Limbo (Mar. 3) and the Boca Beach and Boating Bash (Mar. 24). In addition, we

have PE classes, Boat Crew Training, training for upcoming QE audits, safety patrols, radio watches,

vessel exams, and dealer visitations. The weather is great, so let’s get out there and meet the Boca

boating community. Please contact me or other staff officers to get involved with these activities. Ask

about the correct uniform. Ask for directions and instructions and anything else. Just volunteer. You’ll

be proud you did.

I’m happy to announce that our Flotilla has received formal approval to begin shore-side and underway

training for the Boca/Delray Sea Cadets. Training missions are in the planning stages, and we hope to

provide at least one underway mission before the end of the school year. We are fortunate to have an

opportunity to work with this fine organization and such dedicated youth.

We are starting a mentoring program for the 10 new members who have joined this year already (thank

you, Mario). We will contact members individually to begin a mentoring relationship with each new

member to get them integrated into the Flotilla. If you are called, I hope you undertake the job with

enthusiasm. It will make a big difference.

Note that the 1-hour TCT training will be held at our March Flotilla meeting (not workshop day), so

please attend the meeting and complete this annual requirement (unless you need the 8-hr TCT training

this year).

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting and all the March activities!

time for our Flotilla to show the public what we do in the field of water safety, boat inspections,

and public education. We showed a video on “Save the Whale” for children, and this year we

hope to have one on “Save the Manatee.”

Our Boat Crew classes continue on Tuesday evenings through March and April.

Several issues were resolved this month, regarding policies, 7030 inputs and data entry that will improve

accuracy and accountability in our numbers.

AUXOP Training- A letter was forwarded to our bridge recommending specific changes in course texts

and exams.

Four members sat for a retake of the AUXOP NAV Part B exam. For the first time a comment sheet was

included in the test package. All four commented that some questions were ambiguous (incomplete as to

meaning).

We have a total of 3 Coxswains, and 15 crew members who need there 3 year re-certification this year.

(Reference Tom Kegan’s Member training report in February issue of log). Additionally we have a

couple of trainee’s who are almost ready for their initial QE. With that said, we are looking to have

another QE in late March or early April, so stay tuned for an exact date. I will continually send out

requests for crew giving preference to those who need hours, and those who are preparing for re-

certification, or initial QE.

Reminder: We will be giving the 1 hour TCT training (annual requirement) immediately following the

upcoming Flotilla meeting March 1. To make sure the training session goes quickly and effectively, we

need you to read through the scenario in this month’s log, and write down the key risk factors, and

decision points, that may impact judgment and crew safety and be prepared to discuss.

Public Education

[email protected]

The February 18th ABS Class has been delivered to the public and we had a total of 18 students

attending, and 15 of the total were Sea Cadets. As a special note, Mario Stagliano taught his first class

as a certified instructor. Congratulations Mario! Others who assisted during the day were Tom Kegan,

Andrea Rutherfoord, Fred Gless, Marie Thompson and Liliane Meghabghab. A hearty thank you to you

all in assisting and making this relatively large class a resounding success!

Upcoming events for Public Education include a special class that is planned for next Saturday,

February, 24th 2012, at Tropic Bay. This will be the first

installment in a two day class at the Tropic Bay clubhouse.

The second class will be held there on March 3, 2012.

According to a recent article in the Miami Herald, the Coast

Guard is pushing for a more rapid response to emergencies at

sea and to do so it is asking for a little “Self help” from

boaters. Besides the use of routine and required safety gear

on vessels, it is recommending that boaters should take time

to register electronic safety equipment, such as emergency

position indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs) and marine

radios according to U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Aaron Jozsef of

the U.S. Coast Guard's Seventh District command center. Surprisingly, "Only 6 percent of alerts we

receive are actual distress, but the command center treats all like

they are real," he said. "If one goes off, I'm immediately in the

stress mode."

The Coast Guard is requesting that all marine radios and EPIRBS

be registered and assigned a MMSI number (see January 2012

LOG) so that personal information about the type of vessel and its

occupants may be attached to the distress call. Registration of

emergency communications equipment could provide a significant

savings to taxpayers as more than $4 million is spent annually by

the US Coast Guard in aviation rescue costs responding to false calls.

As we contact and connect with the public it would be extremely helpful if this message could be

delivered so that the money spent on emergency response is actually devoted to saving lives.

All crew, coxswains, and members who need their 1

hour Team coordination training credit, we will be

conduction the training immediately following an

abbreviated March 1, 2011 flotilla meeting. To expedite

the session we request that you read through the

scenario below and write down the key risk factors and

decision points that may impact judgment and crew

safety and be prepared to discuss.

Team Coordination Training 2012 Refresher Participant Reference

Learning Objectives

Participants will learn to identify key risk factors and decision points that may impact judgment

and crew safety.

Identify the special challenges this mission presented.

Identify and discuss the key issues that created a hazardous condition on this patrol.

Understand how crew selection, condition or fitness, and experience issues impacted the

outcome of this situation.

Define the leadership and decision making issues that arose when the so called “routine”

mission became dangerous to the crew and public.

The Patrol

Mission: A “routine” MOM patrol in Monterey Bay, California

Facility:

1963 Chris Craft cabin cruiser, 36 foot LOA, twin screw inboard, wood construction.

Weather: 91°F and hazy …wind: W at 10 mph…Humidity: 72%...Low tide 1432 hrs

CREW

Coxswain: Jack, 55 year old with 12years experience with his own 20 foot center

console, no experience with facility used in this patrol.

Crewmember: Joe, 82 year old “retired cox’n” who offered his 36 footer for use

since a heart ailment forced him to drop back to “crew” status earlier this year.

Crewmember: Ed, 64 year old with 3 years’ experience as crewmember

The Log Publication USCGAUX Flotilla 36 Boca Raton, Florida

Scenario:

Facility owner Joe is a 20 year veteran; 17 years as coxswain of his own 36 foot

Chris Craft. Joe now takes heart medicine that causes an occasional dizzy spell

in hot weather. That has caused him to give up his coxswain qualification, but

he still offers his boat for use as a facility, as long as he can continue to crew.

Coxswain Jack is an experienced coxswain but, until now, has exclusively used

his own 20 foot center console for patrols. Crewmember Ed, a 64 year old with 3

years’ experience as crewmember, rounds out the crew.

The patrol is a Maritime Observation Mission (MOM) conducted in the Monterey

Bay AOR just off the coast of California; the facility is under orders and

communications is maintained by the local CG boat station. The coxswain

considered this to be a routine patrol that posed no special problems and

advised his crew of that finding.

During the patrol, a passing boater hails the facility. The boater informs the crew

that, moments earlier, he saw a lone fisherman fall off a small skiff after a large

wake, caused by a passing party fishing boat, violently rocked his boat.

Jack is at the helm and proceeds to the location reported by the passing

boater, approximately 500 yards away. He plans to assess the situation before

notifying the Coast Guard duty officer. About 100 yards from the scene, they

see a male struggling in the water some 20 yards from a small skiff with no one

aboard. Ed immediately yells “Man Overboard”, points to the port side and yells

again, “Man overboard… 100 yards at 270 degrees relative”.

Jack immediately powers down and begins approaching the man in the water.

Joe goes below and begins rummaging through his cabin, looking for his

throwable life ring. Several minutes pass while Jack tries to maneuver the 36

footer closer in to the struggling man.

Page 15: Farewell to Pat and Nancy Feighery. Thank you for 11 years ... · Farewell to Pat and Nancy Feighery. Thank ... I would like to thank and recognize Ted and Becky Lutjen for hosting

The Log Publication USCGAUX Flotilla 36 Boca Raton, Florida

As the facility arrives next to the man in the water, Joe finally emerges from the

cabin, but seems unsteady and a little pale as he tries to untangle the line

attached to the life ring. Jack sees Joe’s difficulty and realizes that Joe cannot

heave the ring, nor will he be able to assist retrieving the man from the water

due to his weakness and instability on deck.

Jack has been having trouble maneuvering the twin-screw vessel close in

without losing sight of the man in the water, due to the size and configuration of

the large cabin cruiser, as well as his inexperience with this vessel. He feels

helpless to assist with the retrieval. Jack then realizes that Joe must take the helm

while he heaves the life ring and Ed prepares to help him (Jack) lift the

exhausted man from the water.

Jack reluctantly orders Joe to the helm and throws the ring. As the man in the

water grabs onto the ring, Jack notices the facility, still under power, moving

further away from the man. As he hauls in on the life ring line with the man

hanging on, they begin to inadvertently tow the man through the water, which

causes the man to lose his grasp on the ring. Jack retrieves the ring and throws

it again to the man, then quickly takes the helm, places the facility in reverse to

stop its forward motion and begins to again close the gap between the man in

water and the facility. As the facility comes up to the man again, he places

both engines into neutral and then leaves the helm to assist Ed in retrieving the

man according to proper procedure.

They then notify CG communications and request immediate assistance, unsure

of the medical condition of the man just retrieved. Meanwhile Joe sits in the

mate’s chair and searches for his heart medication. The Coast Guard

dispatches a patrol boat and takes charge of the recovered man and takes the

skiff in tow.

BAREFOOT MAILMAN Photos and Captions by Liliane Meghabghab

Barefoot Mailman is the annual reenactment of Colonial Mailmen walking or riding horse along

coast/beach to deliver mail to South FLL. February 4, 2012 was Boy Scouts annual 34 mile hike over 2

days. The CG & Aux provided boats to transport almost 450 Scouts from Pier 66 to STA FLL.

From there, Scouts resumed their hike to Haulover Park to camp overnight and then hike to

South Beach in the morning.

NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHT-

BRUCE FARQUHAR

I’m the proud parent of a daughter who lives in Philadelphia and a son in Germany. I’m also a

grandfather. My son in Germany is 16 and already speaks three languages fluently with two more years

of high school to go. I originally come from Doylestown PA where I graduated from Delaware Valley

College. I spent six years in the Navy as an Air Traffic Controller. After my service I flew as a charter

pilot and flight instructor.

Airplanes are my passion (in addition to ice cream) but I’m looking forward to learning all about boating

in the Auxiliary. I’m also hoping to participate in the various Air Crew missions available to us. The

concept that I might be able to help people is one of the positives that attracted me to the Auxiliary.

Currently I work at The Storage Depot renting self storage units and trucks.
