I am pleased to share with you the highlights of our achievements during the months of April, May, and June 2024.
Foremost, Flotilla 6-8 showcased remarkable dedication and commitment, accumulating over 2,500 hours of service. This is a true testament to the hard work put in by every one of you. I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your unwavering effort to our Dana Point flotilla and the USCG.
I am thrilled to share that our team has expanded with the addition of 4 new members and 2 transfers. This growth not only strengthens our flotilla but also brings fresh perspectives and expertise to the table.
In terms of operations, we successfully conducted over 60 vessel exams, ensuring the safety and compliance of our watercraft. Furthermore, we actively supported key events in the maritime community, including the Dana Point Harbor Boat Ramp blitz on May 19th and the new Dock Opening on June 1st and 2nd.
Our Public Affairs and Marine Safety teams played an instrumental role in the success of the Narwhal event, Beach Clean-Up and Aqua Fest. Your dedication to promoting public awareness and ensuring the safety of all involved deserves commendation.
Moreover, in Public Education, we celebrated eight graduates from our BS&S class in May. Congratulations to all our graduates on their accomplishment! Looking ahead, we have an exciting Paddle Craft class scheduled for June 26, which will be the first of its kind conducted in our district.
On a lighter note, our culinary team was busy catering various retirement events for the District 6 and the San Pedro base, dedicating 56 hours in providing delicious meals. Our team continues to receive high praise from the USCG in terms of support and dedication.
In terms of infrastructure, we made significant progress in the PATON verification for Dana Point Harbor. As of now, we have completed 89% of the verifications and will carry out the remaining tasks this summer. This achievement demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of navigational safety.
Finally, I am pleased to announce that Charles Grosvenor has taken on the role of FSO-MT, effective June. Please join me in congratulating Charles on his new position and offering him your support as he navigates this role.
Once again, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your hard work and dedication. Our accomplishments over the past few months reflect your commitment to excellence. Let us continue to work together, support one another, and strive for even greater achievements.
