HEADS UP ON THE BOAT! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Today our break-in crewmen got loud and practiced their heaving line throwing along with anchoring and boat handling. ⚓️ As part of this week’s Boat Crew College, the team got to experience some hands-on exercises and take a break from the classroom!

Thanks to our outstanding training program headed up by BM1 Larry Williams, our crew remains fully mission capable for Search & Rescue in the Jacksonville community 🛟

Cruising into the weekend like 🚢 😎

This Friday, we had the privilege of escorting the Norwegian Gem on her transit from the port of Jacksonville out to sea 🌊

As part of our Ports, Waterways and Coastal Security (PWCS) mission, Station Mayport has the tremendous responsibility of ensuring high-capacity passenger vessels like this one remain safe while entering and leaving the port. 💪

It’s a beautiful Tuesday in Jax and our crew is getting after it! 💪 🪢

This morning, we conducted a Boat Crewman “check ride” complete with a man overboard (MOB) drill and multiple towing evolutions 🛟

A Coast Guard check ride is the final practical exam for qualifying in roles like Boat Crew or Coxswain, involving an oral board and an underway assessment with the unit’s training team to test skills in navigation, towing, man-overboard recovery, boat handling, and emergency procedures, ensuring crew readiness for all missions. ⚓️

Exercises like this ensure our team remains safe and proficient as first responders for the Jacksonville community. 📸: BM3 Correa
