8:00am to 11:00pm

    ^{U.S. Power Squadrons® and U.S Coast Guard Auxiliary work hand-in-hand to provide this service to as many boat owners as possible each year.}
    Certified Vessel Examiners from the USPS will be here to verify the presence and operable condition of certain safety equipment required by state and federal regulations.
   Boats that meet safety requirements will be awarded the 2011 VSC sticker to display on their vessel.  Busy U.S. Coast Guard patrols save time and effort by looking for VSC stickers while doing routine safety stops.  If they spot one on your boat, they'll know you are very likely to be in compliance with the regulations they enforce, and may look elsewhere.
   USPS^® and USCGAux Vessel Examiners are volunteers and do not have law enforcement authority, nor do they report any boat safety defects to the Coast Guard or other organizations.  The Vessel Safety Check program is offered as a service to the boating public to make our waters safer for us all.
   In addition to Vessel Safety Checks, both organizations also provide Boating Safety Courses that meet or exceed NASBLA standards.  Contact a Flotilla or Squadron near you today.
