3 Inland Seafarer 3 August, 2018 Edition News from National Membership thoughts: Did you know that new members are living in your neighborhood? Try mass mailing to various neighborhoods when you have a class coming up. One squadron did that for a seamanship class and gained four new members. R/C Robert Howd

4 Executive Officer P/C Steve Stuart AP Youth Day on Lake Norman, Saturday July 14, 2018, was conducted for the 19 th year. We first want to thank our multiple Sponsors, Davidson College, special Guests and Members. Special thanks to our D27 Commander Greg Shay and his wife Connie for attending, Kerry Gonzalez as our major Sponsor and her family for helping with food item deliveries and face painting during the day and Dick and Barb Todd for table and chair arrangements. We had the help of over 31 LNSPS members with 5 boats, 102 area Youth participated with associated six staff members and five Davidson college students serving as lifeguards and dock safety assistants. In -all totaling over 271 hours of member volunteer help in one of our biggest, civic events of the year. Beach swimming activities were well attended and supervised by lifeguards from Davidson College. Boating rides and rafting activities were conducted in a safe manner supervised by Dock Master Mark Epstein and Glenn DeTample as assistant. Davidson College students were assigned to check life jacket sizes and adjustments, supported boat arrivals and departures, and passenger safe loadings. Gifts, a big hit by all, were given by the Panthers Organization. Note that AMG Maritime Insurance, Panthers Organization, Publix and numerous other Sponsors have already pledged to support us next year when we again start our LNSPS Civic Event Sponsorship Program on February 1, Thanks again for all of the help from Sponsors, Members, Food Service organizations and Davidson College. Without your help, this Civic Community Youth Day on Lake Norman activity could not be accomplished.

5 BOATING CONFIDENCE ZONE A Major Focus of America s Boating Club Preserve Your Life: Wear a Life Jacket When on the Water Since January, Twenty-two (22) boaters have lost their lives on North Carolina waters and 16 of them were not wearing a life jacket. The Wildlife Commission is reminding boaters the seconds it takes to put on a life preserver may be the difference between life and death. And it's the law. Anyone younger than 13 must wear an appropriate life jacket when on a recreational vessel that is underway Courtesy of. The NC Wildlife Resources Commission

6 T BOATING CONFIDENCE ZONE A Major Focus of America s Boating Club Reporting of ATON Problems Who do you contact to report boating safety, no wake and other violations? The Lake Norman Marine Commission, residents of Lake Norman and users of Lake Norman are dependent on the efforts of the various law enforcement agencies on the lake to enforce the laws and ordinances regarding lake use, please contact the lake patrol division of the County in which you reside and/or NC Wildlife Resources Commission. Catawba County: Iredell County: Lincoln County: Mecklenburg County: Cornelius PD: NC Wildlife Resources Commission: The Lake Norman Marine Commission has asked that we coordinate reporting of problems with ATONs thru one source by each organization. P/C Russ Klein, SN -INC has agreed to serve as the point-ofcontact for the Lake Norman Sail & Power Squadron. Should you observe any such problems please contact Russ and include as much information as possible: date reported, ATON description, nature of problem, GPS location (if possible), contact information (if follow-up is needed). This will then be forwarded onto the LNMC Commissioner for that county (so as to be in the informational loop) and to the LNMC contractor for repair. It will also be placed on a list of Navigation Aids needing service, which will be posted on the LNMC web site to inform the public.
