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!

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!

This past month U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Waesche crews conducted small boat training in Beaver Inlet, Alaska, while deployed to the region conducting an Alaska patrol.

Homeported on U.S. Coast Guard Base Alameda, WAESCHE is one of four National Security Cutters in Alameda and one of nine National Security Cutters currently in service across the Coast Guard.

National Security Cutters are capable of deploying globally where our crews conduct critical Coast Guard’s missions from protecting fisheries, intercepting narcotics at sea, enforcing U.S. laws and treaties and serving as search-and-rescue platforms protecting mariners and commercial fishermen in some of the most unforgiving elements!
To continue ’s support of military heroes during the holiday season, the team from our Martinez Renewable Fuels facility recently sponsored Operation Santa at the U.S. Coast Guard Base Alameda.

In addition to making a $15,000 donation to VietNam Veterans of Diablo Valley which benefits active military and Goldstar families – attendees were treated to gifts, gift cards, a meal, and of course, a visit with Santa Claus.
