This is one of the ways that flotilla 04-08 tries to be different. We have an IT help desk & FSO-CS page! Fully implementing the idea of the e-Auxiliary, go to the Web Officer's Page at the FSO-CS link below for Internet and computer assistance.

This ain't no "Paper Flotilla" dept: See the flotilla on duty & on the water at the Krewe of Bilge Parade here at furstphotos.com  further efforts to distance ourselves from a paper flotilla are HELO OPS support, and the extensive training described on the Surface Ops and Boat Crew pages.

Vessel Safety Check Program

At your request, we can perform a Boat Safety Equipment Examination. This is an audit of safety equipment on your boat. Only you are told of the results. Our equipment list is usually above and beyond what is required by most state boating laws. If your boat passes the exam, you get a decal you can put on your boat. Our examiners will advise you about important safety equipment which will allow you to boat with confidence.

Call or e-mail the Vessel Examiner listed on the Officers page to schedule your free boat safety check. Be sure to include your name, phone number, and the best time to contact you in your e-mail message.
