Flotilla 4-1 What's New!

It was a busy weekend for the crew of the Sea Hawk this weekend, it was one of the busiest days so far, with 10 tows! Thanks to our own Robert Uy, one of the most experienced Coxswains in the District, the crew was able to help out those in immediate need!

A family of 3 had been trying for several hours to paddle back to their camp site, the wind just took them away. They were out of breath and a bit dehydrated. 

A smile says everything!

This vessel in distress was taking on water due to a faulty exhaust line. Very dramatic, as the passangers not only were given a pump , but had no choice but to also use buckets to get the water out! They made it safe and the boat was able to be removed from the lake without incident.

A family of four got debris in their jet skies and were stranded and were not sure on what to do.

While on patrol this past weekend, the crew of the Seahawk encounter an injured Elephant Seal at the Cabrillo Beach Boat Ramp. Crew Member Eric Williams immediately contacted  the local Marine Animal Rescue for help. The status of the seal is unknown at this time.

Flotilla 04-01 has a new member, meet Oscar. He has been extremely helpful in our flotilla training. He weights approximately 145 lbs and is an essential element during Man Over Board exercises.
