Dave Scothern, communications operator, goes on a routine safety patrol to familiarize himself with the area that we patrol. This helped him understand our area when coxswains and crew report their position during patrols.

Dave had this reaction about his time on the water:

On Sept. 7th., I had the pleasure of going on a patrol on the Caloosahatchee River. Connie Irvin invited me to go with her and Bill Petritz, since I had never been on a patrol before.

I enjoyed this experience immensely. I learned a lot about Islands, channel markers, passes, etc. Going on this patrol was the highlight of my weekend. Seeing what our patrols do was, indeed, a learning experience.

Doing radio watches and never having been on a patrol was a detriment. Now, I have a better understanding where patrol may be and this makes it easier for me to find them on a chart in the Ops Center at the Cape Coral Yacht Club.

If no one has been on a patrol and unsure whether to be boat crew or just see what a patrol is all about, I suggest you do a patrol. Ask to go along as a trainee and see for yourself how enjoyable and what a learning experience it is.

I even got to do a " man overboard " training. I have heard that many times in the Ops Center, but never knew what the training consisted of. Now I know. Needless to say, I was totally amazed and enjoyed a wonderful day on the water and on patrol.

I was asked by Pat McCarn twice to go with him on a patrol, but thing beyond my control prevented me from going with him. Otherwise, I would have enjoyed this opportunity a lot sooner.

I have a great appreciation for members of all flotillas and the Coast Guard who monitor and protect lives and the safety of the people on our waters. Thank you very much for your services.
