Coast Guard Information

Tomorrow morning, local members of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will be hosting an informational meeting at the American Legion Hall in Vineyard Haven. Interested boaters are encouraged to drop by at 9:30 a.m. The meeting runs until noon.

David Pothier, co-organizer of the Island detachment, said they seek to expand the membership and spread the word about what the auxiliary, in its new role, may be able to do on the Island. There was once an active flotilla on the Island. Mr. Pothier said a number of those former members have renewed their interest. For more information, see online cgaux.org.
