Hello there, my name is "COASTIE" the Safety Boat
Thanks for looking!
I am a Robot Tug Boat used by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary to teach children about water and boating safety. Via my interactive movements and voice, I show them how to be safe on and around the water. I am portable and can be brought to schools, churches, clubhouses, and Swim Clubs just to name a few. My assistant Carla Rosen is available to answer your questions.

BOATING FUN - ADVENTURE ON THE WATER
(click on picture to open)
Boating Fun - Adventure on the Water, was written in partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers. It is a storybook/coloring book (targeted to children in grades K-3) with pictures that are suitable for making overhead transparencies. A guide to the safe boating messages in the book, as well as a list of activities (with short explanations), can be found in the book on Pages 1-2. The story contains all the safe boating messages and, in addition, Key Messages for the pictures are separately listed on each page where the related picture is found. The book is designed to be used in traditional, instructor-led classes as well as stand-alone study by a single user.
