Keep your boat safely afloat — A boat safety examination, sponsored by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 81 of Ocean City, will take place on May 30. The event, which is open to the public, begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 12 noon. It will be held at Whale Creek Marina, 2608 S. Bayview Drive, Strathmere.
A Certified Vessel Safety Examiner will check for all required safety items on board your boat. If everything is present and in good working order, a VSE decal will be awarded for placement on the boat.
The VSE decal attests to the fact that the boat is in compliance with federal and state requirements. These safety checks are meant to be an educational experience. No official report is made to any law enforcement authority.
