We have a UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY tomorrow, Saturday 6/6 at our Chesapeake Isle Community Harbor. Our friend and neighbor Bill Osborne has arranged for a member of the USCG Auxiliary Flotilla 21-05 to conduct free Vessel Safety Checks (VSC) and make suggestions on what is needed to bring your boat in compliance with Maryland and Federal requirements. The status and condition of your trailer will not be addressed.
If your boat passes, you will be awarded a recognizable VSC Decal to display on your vessel. In Cecil County and the broader Chesapeake Bay area, maritime law enforcement (such as the Maryland Natural Resources Police or the US Coast Guard) may bypass or significantly speed up random safety boardings if they spot a valid current-year decal on your boat.
We will start at 11am and boats on trailers should head toward the fishing pier and get in line. Please take advantage of this opportunity for the US Coast Guard Auxiliary to come to you!
