I would like to add my thanks for your outstanding efforts in the Recreational Boating Safety over the summer, throughout the year, and look forward to successes in the future. The RBS mission is job #1. While we may never know the exact safety outcomes from a particular VE, program visit, class, PA event, or on-the-water safety conversation please know these interactions make a difference and save lives.
Every member can participate in RBS at almost any time your schedule permits. Many RBS qualifications are quick, if not easy, to achieve and a great way for new members to get started and make a difference right away. While initial qualification is readily achievable each of these missions has the wonderful challenge of taking many years to master and there is always something new to learn.
Again, thank you for your efforts.
Be safe out there and look to the safety of your shipmates,

SUBJ: OPERATION SAFE SUMMER 2010 END REPORT
A. OPERATION SAFE SUMMER 2010, CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS DTD 5 MAY 2010
B. D13INST 16750, STRATEGY FOR THE REDUCTION OF RECREATIONAL BOATING
ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES IN THE THIRTEENTH DISTRICT, 2009 TO 2
1. PER REF A, OPERATION SAFE SUMMER IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE FIELD
UNITS AND COMMANDS WITH A TOOL TO FOCUS AND MEASURE RBS EFFECTIVENESS
FOR BOTH ACTIVE DUTY AND AUXILIARY ACTIVITIES. THE FIVE PRIMARY
GOALS: ADVANCE BOATER EDUCATION, NAVIGATION RULES COMPLIANCE,
BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, LIFEJACKET WEAR, AND OPERATOR COMPLIANCE
ARE ALL SIGNIFICANT FACTORS IN RECREATIONAL BOATING ACCIDENTS AND
FATALITIES IN D13. WITH AN AVERAGE OF 52 RECREATIONAL BOATING
FATALITIES DISTRICT WIDE, WE AND OUR STATE AND FEDERAL PARTNERS HAVE
A MONUMENTAL TASK AHEAD. OUR MISSION IS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE THROUGH
EDUCATION AND ENFORCEMENT.
2. ALTHOUGH WE FELL SHORT IN SEVERAL AREAS, THE EFFORT TOWARDS
MEETING D13s PERFORMANCE GOALS WAS A SUCCESS. RECREATIONAL VESSEL
EXAMINATION TARGETS WERE SET WITH AN OVERALL DISTRICT GOAL FOR 2010
OF 4,100 EXAMINATIONS. FINAL NUMBERS FOR THE END OF THIS PERIOD
INDICATED THAT 4,628 VESSEL EXAMINATIONS WERE COMPLETED WHICH IS 112
PERCENT OF OUR GOAL. THIS IS A 13 PERCENT INCREASE FROM THE 4,004
EXAMINATIONS CONDUCTED IN 2009.
3. AUXILIARY FORCES WORKED DILIGENTLY TO REACH OUT TO BOATERS ACROSS
THE DISTRICT AND CONDUCTED OVER 900 VESSEL SAFETY CHECK EXAMINATIONS
TO ASSIST BOATERS IN COMPLYING WITH CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS.
AUXILIARISTS ALSO VOLUNTEERED OVER 1,000 HOURS IN ATTENDING PARADES,
OPEN HOUSES AND PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL EVENTS AND CLASSES FOR ALL
AGES, IN ADDITON TO CONDUCTING OVER 4,000 HOURS OF RBS PATROLS DURING
THIS PERIOD.
4. RECREATIONAL BOATING IS STILL THE HIGHEST RISK BOATING ACTIVITY IN
THE DISTRICT, AND THERE IS STILL MUCH MORE TO DO. GUIDANCE FOR
OPERATION SAFE SUMMER 2011 WILL BE COMING SOON, AND I ENCOURAGE ALL
TO REVIEW OUR GOALS IN THE DISTRICT RECREATIONAL BOATING STRATEGY
(SEE REF B). MY RECREATIONAL BOATING SAFETY SPECIALIST, MR. DAN
SHIPMAN, WILL BE VISITING EACH SECTOR AND UNIT IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS
TO REVIEW YOUR PAST EFFORTS AND TO ASSIST YOU IN IDENTIFYING NEW
OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH OUT TO RECREATIONAL BOATERS WITH AN OVERALL
GOAL TO REDUCE RECREATIONAL BOATING ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES IN THE
REGION.
5. I WANT TO COMMEND ALL HANDS ON THEIR EFFORTS TO MAKE OPERATION
SAFE SUMMER 2010 AN OVERALL SUCCESS AND YOUR EFFORTS TO MAKE
RECREATIONAL BOATING SAFE AND ENJOYABLE.
