“Good for you”
There was a general meeting held by the Vero Beach Power Squadron (VBPS). At that meeting a Personal Floatation Devise was awarded to Leonard Frosina. He along with three other VBPS members completed the United States Power Squadron Vessel Safety Examiner program. Good for you.
The mission of the program is to minimize the loss of life, personal injury, property damage and environmental impact while maximizing the safe use and enjoyment of U.S. waterways by recreational boaters. The Vessel Safety Check process is one of “prevention through education, outreach and volunteer compliance” helping recreational boaters to gain a respect for the boating environment.
The VSC Program also helps to achieve voluntary compliance with federal and state recreational boating safety laws, particularly with regard to the carriage of safety equipment while raising boater awareness about safety and environmental issues through voluntary contact by a Vessel Examiner (VE). VE discussions with recreational boaters is designed to motivate maintaining and operating their boats in a safe manner, taking boating safety courses to increase their knowledge and skills in boating, and promoting safe boating.
The VBPS has VEs’ that will be happy to perform the service on your boat in and around Vero Beach. You can call for an appointment (Jack Kruiten 772-468-0550, John Spilman 772-567-0408) or stop in at the VBPS building located at 301 Acacia Road, Vero Beach.
