USCG Safe Boating Program Starts April 2018

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 78 has a 12-week repeating cycle of Safe Boating Program meetings every Tuesday at 7:00 pm at 1500 Pass-a-Grille Way, St. Pete Beach (at the Warren Webster Building, 1 mile south of the Don CeSar). Start at any point in the cycle. Arrive the first time at 6:30 pm to register. Included in this program are detailed and illustrated materials that cover a variety of program topics.

The program package is based on the new USCG Auxiliary Boating Skills & Seamanship 14th Edition 400-page manual. All materials will be included in the cost of the program which is $45 per participant for 12 weeks ($60 for couples sharing the materials).
