Your significant other just had a heart attack: What do you do?
Who and how do you call when you have an onboard emergency? When you spot a deadhead that is lurking slightly beneath the water surface? When you hit the rock south of Hope Island and your bilge pump is not keeping up?
At the May 11 SSSS General Meeting, we will have guests from the Olympia Harbor Patrol and the US Coast Guard to help us answer these questions and more.
Commander Steve Hager of the Harbor Patrol will share the roles and responsibilities of the Harbor Patrol, tell a few good stories of heroic rescues, and explain how to reach them in cases of emergency. The organization is funded by the Port of Olympia and operated by volunteers.
Representatives from the United States Coast Guard also will explain their roles and responsibilities as they relate to South Sound waters and throughout the United States. They also will share a few good stories, photographs of their helicopters and ships, and explain their mission..
In addition, we will share information about upcoming cruises, races, nominations for club officers, and other sailing news and have time for small breakouts so that you can interact with your colleagues.
The Zoom meeting will begin at 1900 on May 11, but everyone is encouraged to sign-in earlier to test your equipment. The link to register was sent to SSSS members.
We hope to see you there — It should be enjoyable and informative.
