SUBJECT: PV REPORT – JULY 2007

Two "Vessel Examiners/Program Visitor" mornings were set up, at

Oceanport Landing on Saturday, 9 June 2007, from 10 am to 2 PM

VE's were Bill Anania, Don Lambrecht and Lou Bopp

PV was Trudy Bopp.

The day was a great success. Lou performed 3 VEs, Bill 6, and Don 2.

I placed computer written signs in the right places and we had one picnic table with two benches. Safe boating brochures were neatly displayed and distributed to interested boaters.

Channel Club Marina on 30 June 2007, from 10 am to 2 PM

On the 30 June, Don and Bill had different plans, so it was Lou and myself. We placed the brochures on the table inside a gazebo and then we walked the docks, offering free vessel checks. "We are not ready" was the best we heard. It was obvious that the people there wanted a day in the sun and having a good time. A boater would treasure a new decal, indicating that his boat meets all State requirements.

While we packed all the brochures, one man came and asked for information, what he must

have on his boat. We gave him Federal Regulations. After we drove away, we decided to

do some PVs.

Six PVs from me are reported today. The filled out form 7046 was handed today to Steve Gillooly, FC 22.
