Welcome to the Flotilla 33-2, District 9WR Web Site

A Message from the Flotilla Commander

Auxiliary members or Flotilla 33-02 conduct safety patrols on Lake Michigan and local waterways, assist in Search and Rescue, teach boating safety classes, conduct free vessel safety checks for the public, provide boating safety literature to dealers, as well as many other activities related to recreational boating safety.

The Coast Guard considers the Auxiliary its primary resource for recreational boating safety outreach and prevention (see the message "From the Commandant"), and each Coast Guard district around the nation has established a senior officer and staff to provide tight liaison and coordination between the active-duty Coast Guard and the various Auxiliary units in that district.

Membership in the Auxiliary is open to persons 17 years of age and older. We are organized into 16 districts nationwide, comprised of 171 divisions with approximately 980 flotillas. No matter where you live, there is a flotilla near you. Find the unit nearest your Zip Code by clicking on "Units" at the top of this page. And for dozens of reasons why you should join, visit "Recruiting". You will not be sorry!

I invite you to attend one of our meetings they are held on the 3rd Saturday of the month 9:00 CST at Station Michigan City on the east side of the Michigan City Harbor Please stop in during a Flotilla meeting or call one of our leaders if you are interested in joining us in our mission!

Thank you,

Flotilla Commander 95W-33-02
