N.Y. The Coast Guard Auxiliary is the civilian volunteer element of the U.S. Coast Guard team. The purpose of the Auxiliary is to promote boating safety through public education, courtesy marine examinations of vessels, and on the water operations to assist boaters in distress. Vessel Examinations - Free Courtesy Marine Exams are offered throughout the boating season and specifically on the second and fourth Saturdays in June, July, and August at local marinas. This is a voluntary inspection of a vessel to determine if it meets safety and legal requirements. On the water safety patrols are conducted on Cayuga Lake on weekends and holidays during the summer.
Assistance is given to boaters in distress.
Search and rescue operations are conducted as needed in cooperation with the Coast Guard and local marine law enforcement agencies. Fellowship - We enjoy working as a team and sharing friendship as we carry out the missions and operation of the Flotilla. Flotilla 22 has been serving the Southern and Central, N.Y. area for over 50 years. We continually seek new members interested in actively performing a public service to the boating community.
