General Membership Meeting Notes, Information, Links and Updates:
Our thanks and appreciation to our guest speaker, Public Affairs Office, Sheila Lagrand and Commander Bob Arovas. Sheila presented a very interesting and informative program. Along with Bob they both covered many items of interest all Recreational Boat Owners/Captains should advise, discuss and demonstrate with all their passengers and crew. During the Q & A session many questions were addressed, and Sheila promised that she would do some further research on a couple of questions that they were unable to answer. Stay-Tuned for further updates, answers and some very useful and interesting website links in the coming week. Once again our thanks to Sheila and Bob!
As promised, Sheila has provided the following answers to the questions that were unanswered at our General Meeting along with the promised website links; please see below.

For statistics that tabulate boating accidents, the "accident statistics" choice on this page: http://www.uscgboating.org/statistics/default.aspx provides downloadable reports that report and analyze causes of boating accidents. Other information is also available. I hope this is helpful.
