Vitabene, any insight on how many vessels had safety issues and what the more prevelant issues were? It would be interesting to know what areas need the most education.

Thanks for the info on the safety inspections. I wanted to come by, but didn't get away from my slip at all this weekend.
I printed out the calendar pages showing the locations of the inspections, but no hours were printed on the calendar. You may want to have the webmaster fix that! I hope to make the next one! Thanks again! |

Ooops! I stand corrected!
Snooping around on the web site I found one page that mentions the time, unfortunately this page is for 2011 http://lrsps.org/VSCschedule.htm It would be good to have this also listed on the calendar section too. Perhaps I'm slow, but I checked this website 5 times and this is the first time I stumbled on the time of day for the safety checks. Thanks again for mentioning it to me. I may try to make the next one that is scheduled at Fay's. |
