UNITED STATES COAST GUARD FLOTILLA 7-16 OFFERS SAFE BOATING CLASSES IN GULFPORT, FL, MEETS THE THIRD WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH. These classes qualify the attendee for the FWC Safe Boating Card. This card is required for most people born after January 1, 1988 to legally operate a power boat with greater than 10hp motor in Florida. The one-day class includes instruction on safety equipment, boat handling, rules of the road, navigation aids, communications, trailering, legal requirements and others. Power and sailboats are covered, as well as personal watercraft. Of course, besides making a boater in compliance, the main goal of the class is to create a safer boater. Classes are offered on the second Saturday of each month. To sign up, contact Marty Richardson at (630)674-5352. Flotilla 7-16 also performs free courtesy vessel safety inspections for power and sail boats, personal watercraft, and paddle craft. The inspector will come to your location, inspect the required safety features of your vessel, and if you pass will provide a safety sticker to mount on your vessel. The inspection is a courtesy, so no action is taken if problems are found. But the vessel owner then knows of any deficiencies to correct before having an accident or being sanctioned by the Coast Guard. To get more information or to schedule an inspection, contact Howard Bush at (305)731-3580. Anyone interested is invited to attend. Contact Flotilla Commander Howard Bush for more information at (305)731-3580.
A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUARTDespite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2022 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster”
with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org.

8 TowBoatUS Captains Honored for Lifesaving Acts
PRINGFIELD, VA., Feb. 4, 2025 – At the annual gathering of the TowBoatUS fleet, company owners, captains and BoatUS staff honored eight captains in Florida, Washington, Virginia and Michigan who selflessly acted to provide good Samaritan lifesaving assistance in 2024. A Woody Pollak Award, the highest honor in TowBoatUS lifesaving and named for the late Capt. Woody Pollak who died on duty, was bestowed along with seven Meritorious Service Awards.
• Woody Pollak Award: Capt. Kevin Freestone, TowBoatUS Big Pine Key, Florida: It’s a call that no TowBoatUS captain wants to hear. Late one midsummer night at 1:30 a.m., TowBoatUS Big Pine Key received an urgent request from Monroe County Fire Rescue asking for assistance with a 35-foot center-console with eight passengers aboard that struck a concrete bridge. Children were aboard, and persons were thought to be in the water. TowBoatUS Big Pine Key immediately launched two response boats, with Capt. Kevin Freestone the first to arrive on scene and the second following minutes later. It was immediately apparent to Capt. Freestone that the large center-console was full of passengers when it struck the bridge at high speed. The boat had heavy bow damage, its leaning post and center-console ripped free. When he arrived, it was pinned against the bridge in heavy current, listing to port. With no on-water assets available, first responders on the bridge were using a ladder to evacuate passengers who were able to do so. Not everyone was.
Capt. Freestone swiftly laid his 26-foot towboat alongside the stricken vessel, pinning the response boat’s bow under the tangled vessel’s T-top to prevent it from capsizing with three critically injured persons still aboard, including a 12-year-old boy screaming in pain. The operator of the vessel had a makeshift tourniquet around his leg, and he had lost a lot of blood. With the vessel flooding in the swift current, there wasn’t much time.
With the help of EMTs, Freestone took the three injured aboard and carefully pulled away. The wreck immediately capsized. Freestone then rushed the injured with responders to shore where life flights were waiting. All eight persons survived the incident. As a result of his actions and act of selflessness, Freestone was later recognized by the Monroe Board of County Commissioners, receiving the first S.A.F.E.R. award (Selfless Actions For Emergency Response) for his lifesaving actions.
• Meritorious Service Award: Capt. James Freeman, TowBoatUS Tarpon Springs, Florida: While headed to a routine call for assistance one February afternoon, Capt. James Freeman approached the Dunedin Causeway where a bystander on the bridge flagged him down, yelling that a man had jumped from the bridge and was in the water.
Capt. Freeman immediately activated his response vessel’s emergency lights and swung around to the person in the water. Upon approaching the man, Freeman tossed a rescue line, but the man refused to take it, instead forcing himself below the water face-down. After cautioning an approaching vessel to pull back, Freeman made operating room to reposition himself closer. As he did so, the suicidal man expressed his unwillingness to be recovered. That was when Captain Freeman grabbed his boat hook and secured the man in the arm pit and shirt, pulled him safely alongside, then lifted him into the towboat.
Lying prone on the deck of the vessel, the man stated that he wanted to die and began to squirm. Capt. Freeman restrained the man while he sped to nearby police and EMS. He was unable to transfer the bridge jumper at that location due to an obstruction, so a Pinellas County Sheriff boarded the vessel and secured him. Both were safely transported to awaiting EMS crews. Though he received an injury during his actions, Freeman continued to his original stranding call, advising the customer about the unexpected delay. He later recovered.
• Meritorious Service Award: Capt. Kevin Lankowicz, TowBoatUS Tarpon Springs, Florida: Around lunchtime on a summer weekday, Capt. Kevin Lankowicz received a call for routine service about 40 miles offshore. On his way out of Clearwater Pass, Lankowicz noticed two personal watercrafts (PWCs) about a mile offshore. He was troubled by what he saw.
One watercraft was unoccupied, slowly idling in circles, while the other had a man on board and a woman in the water, gripping the PWC. A third woman, in an undersized life jacket, swam over to the unoccupied circling PWC but
was unable to reboard. Lankowicz asked the woman in the water with the undersized life jacket if she knew how to swim. In a panicked state, she replied “no.” The TowBoatUS captain maneuvered the towboat to her side and shut down the engines. He reached out to her, grabbed her hand, and told her to let go of the PWC, assuring her that she would be safe in his hands.
After catching her breath, she finally let go of the PWC, and Lankowicz held her head out of the water while he guided her to his swim ladder. She was able to climb the ladder into the towboat where she rested. After declining further assistance, she safely transferred back to the PWC. The two watercraft then carefully proceeded back to land. • Meritorious Service Award: Capt. Christopher Lakeman, TowBoatUS Big Pine Key, Florida: On a late Spring afternoon, Capt. Chris Lakeman of TowBoatUS Big Pine Key was in the area of Content Keys on the Gulf side of the Lower Florida Keys, helping out two different grounded vessels on opposite sides of an island. While traveling from one case to the other, Capt. Lakeman headed into the Gulf of Mexico to go around the island. Winds and seas picked up dramatically from flat calm to 3- to 4-foot short-stacked waves. As Capt. Lakeman slowly quartered his way in the rough seas, he encountered a small 17-foot flats boat overturned with items floating around it. The boat hadn’t been there when he went by an hour before, and he intuitively knew this was serious.
Capt. Lakeman immediately began a search and after just few minutes, he came across two men clutching life jackets about 75 yards away from the capsized boat. Waves and whitecaps had made it difficult to see the men, who were safely recovered and brought to shore.
• Meritorious Service Award: Capt. Kevin Jones, TowBoatUS Ft. Lauderdale, Florida: In a moment of downtime, Capt. Kevin Jones was aboard his company’s “3 Boat” response vessel, talking with his boss on the adjacent “5 Boat,” when their emergency communications app alerted them to a nearby sinking just a short distance away. Both boats immediately responded, but Capt. Jones, in the much faster boat, was first to arrive.
What he saw worried him: A capsized vessel with only its bow poking above water was in the 3-foot chop. A short distance away was second vessel, a 15-foot Key Largo afloat low in the water, had two men aboard, one yelling, “Help! Help! Help! He’s gonna sink my boat!”
Capt. Jones swung around the aft end of the Key Largo and discovered a corpulent man in the water hanging on the port quarter, causing a substantial amount of water to enter the vessel. The bilge pump was pumping as fast as it could, and the two men aboard were frantic that the victim was going to drown and possibly sink their boat as well. Jones radioed that he was going to attempt to pull the man out of the water, but even with safety lines to assist, every effort failed. The victim advised he weighed 450 pounds and expressed concern that he was going to drown. Capt. Jones assured him he wouldn’t let that happen. Shortly thereafter, Capt. Jones’ boss arrived on scene and, unable to come alongside, threw a portable boarding ladder to Capt. Jones. As Jones began to rig the ladder, the victim lost all his strength and slipped beneath the waves. Jones was able to pull the man above water, but he knew there was no way he’d be able to help the man climb the ladder.
While his boss summoned first responders to the scene, Capt. Jones knew he needed to buy time. At only about 185 pounds himself, he summoned all his strength to hold the heavy man out of the water as far as he could. Essentially dead weight in 3-foot seas, the man was beginning to ingest waves, throw up water and panic, repeating he was going to drown. It took everything Capt. Jones had to keep the man’s head above the waves. A few minutes later, a fireboat with six firefighters arrived on scene and were eventually able to get the man aboard their boat, breaking their vessel’s winch in the process. The man survived.

• Meritorious Service Award: Capt. Danielle Farace, TowBoatUS Tacoma, Washington.
