SEA TOW FT. LAUDERDALE GIVES AWAY LIFEJACKETS

The “Wear It, Life Jackets for Life Saving” 2010 tour, being promoted throughout the state of Florida, was a huge success this May 27th, 2010 at the Alsdorf Park boat ramps, in Pompano Beach Florida. The U.S. Coast Guard, Florida Fish & Wildlife, Sea Tow Ft. Lauderdale and other local Broward County vendors came together to promote safe boating by wearing lifejackets. On display were the Coast Guard and FWC vessels, the Coast Guard boater’s safety educational trailer, which displayed safety equipment such as several styles of life jackets, EPIRB’s, life rings and flares and there was even two fly-overs by the Coast Guard rescue helo during the opening ceremonies and blessing of the boats. Coast Guard Auxiliary and Power Squadron members were on hand, passing out free refreshments, teaching people how a vessel safety inspection is completed, while moms, dads and teens took a safe boating test at the Sea Tow Ft. Lauderdale booth, walking away with a free lifejacket for their participation. Sea Tow Ft. Lauderdale gave away (21) lifejackets which were made available through Sea Tow’s Foundation for Boating Safety and Education. Captain Tim Morgan, Vice President of Sea Tow Ft. Lauderdale, stated “boating safety education is the key to helping boaters be safe on the water and we look forward to participating in future events such as this, to help educate the boating public.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEA TOW IN BROWARD COUNTY INITIATES FREE AUTOMATED RADIO CHECK SYSTEM

In an effort to promote safe boating, Sea Tow Ft. Lauderdale is now providing to the boating public, a first of its kind, free automated marine radio check system, on VHF marine channel 27, 24/7/365.

Many boaters continually request radio checks on VHF channel 16 which is the hailing and distress frequency, monitored by the Coast Guard and Sea Tow, 24/7. Radio checks on channel 16 are a safety issue and a violation of the Communications Act. Often, distress calls to the Coast Guard are interrupted by boaters requesting radio checks. Imagine a boater who is having a medical emergency or sinking, then tries to use his radio to call for help but can’t get through due to boaters doing radio checks on channel 16.

Captain Tim Morgan, Vice President of Sea Tow Ft. Lauderdale says “We’ve noticed over the years a dramatic increase in boaters using channel 16 for radio checks. We found it necessary, especially with the amount of boaters in southeast Florida, that we establish a system which will relieve channel 16 of people doing radio checks.”

Sea Tow Ft. Lauderdale, through its ongoing partnership with MariTel, decided to institute this free service to the boating public in the Broward County area. To conduct an automated radio check, turn a VHF marine radio to channel 27, key the microphone and ask for a radio check, just as you normally would do. The system will record your radio check and then replay your transmission back to you, allowing you to hear how well your radio is working.

This free service has been up and running, in Broward County since Friday, June 4th, 2010 and within the first three days, the service has been used 1765 times. Our ultimate goal is to have all boaters requesting their radio checks on channel 27, leaving channel 16 open and available to be used as it should, for hailing and distress.

Pearl – June Birthstone

According to ancient Chinese legend, the moon holds the power to create pearls, instilling them with its celestial glow and mystery. Pearls have been treasured for their lustrous, creamy texture and subtle iridescent reflections since the dawn of humankind.
Pearls are unique in the world of colored gemstones since they are the only gemstone formed within a living creature. Cultured and Freshwater pearls come in many beautiful colors and many shapes and sizes. They can be acquired in both graduated and uniform strands and can be purchased singly or in pairs for rings, pendants and earrings. June birthdays and third and thirtieth anniversaries are celebrated with the gift of pearls. Other June birthstones include Moonstone and very rare Alexandrite.
