Just wrapped up a busy nautical weekend on Coast Guard Island! Base Alameda was thrilled to welcome back the BSA Sea Scouts for the first time post-COVID. The Old Salts Regatta is an annual nautical competition hosted by Base Alameda dating back over 70 years. It is attend by 150+ Sea Scouts from throughout the Bay Area that cruise in or camp onboard for the weekend. Since 2018, the Sea Scout program is the official youth leadership development program of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. The competition also includes the Captain’s Cup Award. This award is presented by the Commanding Officer of Base Alameda to the Sea Scout Ship exemplifying the highest skill in whaleboat handling throughout the weekend competition. The trophy permanently hangs in the Base Alameda Galley with the plaques updated after every regatta. Congratulations SSS Viking for winning this year’s Captain’s Cup! Thanks to all the volunteers, Recruiting Office SF and MSST SF for all the support to make this year’s regatta a huge success!

THANK YOU to the Fall Chief’s Call to Initiation (CCTI) Prospective Chief Petty Officers (PCPO) and all the volunteers who came out yesterday morning to support the CGI Shoreline Cleanup and BBQ! It was great to see so many people out and about helping to make a difference within our CG Community. Our efforts netted nearly 1800 pounds of garbage removed from the shoreline!
Did you know that the Industrial Production Facility (IPF) is part of Base Alameda? Embodying the motto of “360 Degrees of Mission Support” the dedicated members of IPF Alameda utilize many different skills and trades to conduct industrial level work throughout the Coast Guard. Some of the projects IPF Alameda completed over the past year included construction of a concrete pad for our new trash compactor, erecting a much needed maintenance tent to support our Cutter Boat Pooling Program and 100% organic support of CGC STRATTON's recent dockside availability. We even deployed our Repair Team, twice! When Coast Guard units are negatively impacted by hurricanes or other natural disasters, we deploy our team to quickly conduct repairs. This enables the unit to return to a fully mission capable status as quickly as possible and remain Semper Paratus!
