The attached pictures were taken of the Sarasota Summer Camp students who were scheduled to visit with our training group. Unfortunately, the weather prevented them from boarding our boats and experiencing on the water observational training.

However, the 16 students did get a chance to throw the heaving line, use the water pump, tie some knots, see an environmental DVD, board Walt Jenning's boat to learn about what we do on patrol. Mike Marmion set up this venture and the instructors for the day were Al Bidwick, Bud Beeman, Mike Marmion, Ed Stebner, and Judi Bidwick.

Walt Jennings brought his boat over to the moorings so the students could board and see the equipment we use; Paul Corcoran was there to assist us.
