On Sunday Aug. 11, once again Flotilla 26 was requested to provide on-the-water support for the Sylvan Beach Canal Fest Water Ski Show. The event takes place in the navigation portion of the canal. The Coast Guard Auxiliary was tasked with looking out for traffic that may need to move through the area. 

Flotilla Hosts Paddlecraft Academy

Flotilla 26 hosted an Auxiliary Paddlecraft Academy July 19-21, led by flotilla members Michelle Stoddard and Holly Dillard, both certified paddlecraft instructors. The academy included classroom and on-the-water sessions, and featured, among other skills, how to self-rescue and re-enter a kayak while in the water as well as how to rescue a kayaker in distress.
