If you have questions about joining the Coast Guard Auxiliary, please contact Tom Miller at e-mail at fc@a1300509.uscgaux.info.

The following are links to various public interest pages and sites related to safe boating:

• Boating Safety Classes
  --Take your class and get your Oregon Boater's Education Card before you receive a fine for not having your card.  In 2006, if you're 50 years of age or younger, you're required to have this education card if boating with a 10hp motor or larger.
• Virtual Vessel Safety Check
  --Do you want to know what the CG Auxiliary checks before you arrive with your boat?  Well, here it is.
  --If you're in the Grants Pass area and would like a FREE CG Auxiliary Vessel Safety Check, contact Tom Miller at fc@a1300509.uscgaux.info. 
  --If you prefer, the CG Auxiliary holds a Vessel Safety Check day at the Grants Pass Shopping Center (in front of RiteAid/Staples) a few weeks before Boatnik each year.  Look for announcements in the GP Courier, or on KAJO for the exact date.
