Flotilla X is active unit in the X District. Our Area of Operations, AOR, starts to the north at the inlet and extends to the south at the bay. We conduct regular boat safety patrols in this area daily looking for boaters in need of assistance and conducting a Waterway Watch.

Our Flotilla was chartered in 1976 and has grown in membership since starting as a detachment of Flotilla X. We currently have 150 members, 43 vessels, and 3 aircraft. In addition, many of our members serve the Division, District, and National level as staff officers and elected officers.

We work alongside the active duty Coast Guard in many activities. Our operations training frequently involves trainnig with USCG facilities. We also assist with watchstanding, administrative, and cooking duties at the station. A couple of our members are qualified coxswain and crew members and can take a 47 foot Motor Lifeboat out under a safety patrol. If you would like to assist in any of these and other ways, contact the MT Officer.

Logo of the United States Coast Guard AuxiliaryThe USCG is warning people of a danger to navigation in the bay. A barge ran aground during a storm and tore a hole in the bottom. This let enough water in to allow the barge to rest on the bar. Unfortunately, the barge moves with the tide around this one corner. In essence it swings like a vessel at anchor. The result is that the barge is tearing up the bar and the area around it. Efforts are underway to overcome the laws to get this barge salvaged and removed before the ecology is devastated. The barge hauled rocks and sand so there is no hazardous material concern.

Many may not be aware the Team Safety from Flotilla X in the X Division has gone to National ISAR competition for the last 3 years consecutively and they are really unbeatable. So, the competition among the 15 teams was really for 2nd place. So technically we came in first if you do not count the other team. We hope that Team Safety will finally do it this year at nationals. Last year they lost by one point. It would be nice to bring the ISAR trophie to
