Every year the Coast Guard Auxiliary provides free vessel safety checks for all boaters. The checks provide important safety information to ensure each boater is prepared for any and all emergency situations that may arise. Once a vessel passes the safety check, the Coast Guard Auxiliary will dispense a vessel safety check sticker. This will show the Coast Guard that this vessel has all of the safety requirements for safe boating.
Vessel safety checks normally begin in June of each year. However, this year, due to COVID-19 stand downs, the auxiliary was unable to do safety exams until this weekend.
