Commander’s Message
Cdr Joel A. Hilden, P
Now that summer is in full swing I’m proud to say the Annapolis Sail and Power
Squadron is doing very well. Every bridge officer should be proud of his or her
respective department. And, all of our members should be proud of our
accomplishments.
Lt/C Jeff Short’s Executive Department has been busy! I’ll let him cover the details,
but when it comes to community service and communicating to the local boaters,
Jeff’s team has it covered. You can’t pick up a PropTalk magazine without reading
of our successes. Our cadre of dedicated Vessel Safety Check examiners have
likewise been tearing up the local marinas and helping keep our local boaters safe on
the water. Our ASPS Facebook page communicates valuable information to the local community as well.
Lt/C Michael Maszczenski’s Education Department is doing its share to fulfill our educational mission.
Successful seminars such as Partners in Command transmit vital knowledge to those who need it most. Many
of you probably heard about the Edgewater man who impulsively
jumped out of a moving boat on the South River a few weeks ago to
retrieve a hat. He left the boat in gear. Neither his wife nor children
on board knew how to operate the boat. His body was found in the
river the next day. While one cannot be certain, the tragedy that
resulted may have been prevented by the very education this squadron
provides.
Lt/C Gary Antonides’ Administrative Department has been busy as
always. Our June dinner meeting was another success at the new Elks
venue. The annual picnic on 4 June was terrific. Somehow after four
weeks of near-constant rain the skies fortuitously parted long enough
to enjoy some burgers and dogs near the water with friends. The
recent rendezvous at St. Michaels was one of the best-attended
boating events I can recall in ASPS. I counted 25 people at dinner on
Saturday.
I want to share an experience I had during June with a local boater.
As a Vessel Safety Check examiner, I received an automated VSC
request email from a fellow who lives on the Severn River about a
mile from me. I responded, and we set a time for me to inspect his

Dept. of Homeland Security/FEMA Partnership
In 2008, the Dept. of Homeland Security/FEMA and the US Power Squadrons
agreed to partner in support of community safety and emergency preparedness
through mutual support of the Citizens Corp. In part, the agreement reads as
follows:
“Under the direction of the DHS/FEMA Community Preparedness Division,
Citizen Corps is FEMA's nationwide grassroots strategy to achieve increased
community safety, preparedness, and resilience. Citizen Corps brings
government and community leaders together to involve citizens and
organizations in all-hazards emergency planning, preparedness, prevention,
mitigation, response and recovery. Citizen Corps Affiliates include federally
sponsored programs and national non-profit organizations that support collaborative preparedness
planning, public education and outreach, training opportunities, and volunteer programs.”
Together, FEMA and USPS agree to work in collaborative partnership to:
-Raise awareness among USPS members about appropriate actions to take regarding disaster preparedness
and response, public health issues, life supporting first aid, and volunteer service;
-Promote participation of USPS District and Squadron leadership on State and local Citizen Corps
Councils to support community-based, multi-sector preparedness planning for all-hazards;
-Promote participation in "America's Waterway Watch" and "Waterway Awareness" programs;
-Assist in promoting education, training and exercises, and volunteer service opportunities that support
first responders, disaster relief, and community safety, to include support for Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) training and other safety courses;
-Publicly acknowledge the affiliation of Citizen Corps and the USPS, which may include website links, co-
logos on publications and references in printed materials;
-Coordinate respective national activities, including participation in National Preparedness Month, to
further shared goals; and
-Mutually inform one another of national activities conducted in support of Citizen Corps and provide
reports summarizing those activities.
How can you contribute to this partnership with Homeland Security? One simple thing you can do is to
participate in the “America’s Waterway Watch” program. But how? If you see something, say something.
I know that you’ve heard that before but what exactly are you looking for? This 5 minute youtube clip
produced by the Coast Guard does a great job of explaining the Waterway Watch program and gives
examples of what to be on the lookout for every time you go out on the water. Click on it and you will
definitely learn something that will keep us all safer on the water.

Vessel Safety Check
Another way you, as a proud ASPS member, can promote safety on the water, is to set the example and get
a VSC sticker displayed on your boat. Though ASPS has done nearly 120 VSCs by mid June, very few of
them were on our own ASPS vessels. Please contact myself, Homer Sandridge, or any of the VSC
examiners to set up a convenient time to spend 20-30 minutes getting a sticker and learning something
cool.

Dinners/Speakers
Our speaker for the June dinner meeting was Lee Tawney, the Executive
Director of the National Sailing Hall of Fame. He described many of their
activities and their plans for the future. Dinner meetings are suspended for the
summer, and will resume on September 1st.
Raft-Ups
Our first raft-up was onTuesday, May 24 on the Severn River as we watched
the Blue Angels perform. We had 9 boats, 5 of which were hosts to several
Sea Cadets and their parents. Many of the Cadets were more interested in
paddling around in a kayak and two dinghies from some of our boats than in
watching the Blue Angels. After the event, we received the following email:
“On behalf of the Training Ship Reina Mercedes Navy
League Cadets Corp and parents, I would like to thank you
all again for graciously hosting our cadets, officers, and
parents for the "Raft-up" and Blue Angels demo. It was
truly a memorable event for all of us who were able to
attend. We can not thank you and the members enough for
such an awesome and fun experience……..If ASPS is ever
in need of ceremonial colors guards for your events,
please feel free to call on our cadets.”
Many thanks to Tony Martin for coordinating the event with the Sea Cadets and Noni Rondeau for
organizing the raft-up. The next raft-up will be July 16th on Aberdeen Creek off the South River.
Picnic
Our Annual Picnic was on June 4th at the beautiful picnic area of the Annapolis Cove community on Lake
Ogleton. We had a good crowd, plenty of good food and perfect weather. Although members had the
option of coming by boat, nobody did so. It was a good chance to have more extended conversations than
are normally possible at our dinner meetings. Thanks to the Cupples, McGeehans, and Michaelsens for a
great event.
Rendezvous
When you read this, we will have had the first rendezvous at St. Michaels during the Antique & Classic
Boat Show on 17-19 June. We were expecting about 8 boats, with several more members driving to St.
Michaels, and close to 30 people for Saturday Night dinner. Thanks again to Noni for organizing the
rendezvous. The next rendezvous will be Aug. 5-7 at Herrington Harbor South. Please save the dates and
watch for more info as the time nears."
Ice Cream Social
Peggy and Terry Slattery have kindly invited us to their place for an ice cream social in conjunction with
the August Executive Committee meeting. It will be at 6 PM on Thursday, Aug. 25th. Please mark your
calendar and watch for more info

Hospitality Suite
We are making great progress on our emergency room themed hospitality suite for next year. We have
some ideas for the quiz and the refreshments, all with an emergency on board theme. We even have some
thoughts on emergencies in the galley. We will need some hospital gowns, scrubs, etc as our uniform of
choice. If you have any that you can loan us, let us know. Also, keep the great ideas coming.
Now lets get out on the water… and if you see something, say something.

recently purchased 28’ powerboat. I also sent him a link for the virtual VSC so he could get everything
shipshape in advance. Despite any preparations he may have undertaken, the boat failed miserably: no
registration paperwork, no registration numbers on the boat, a portable fire extinguisher whose gauge was
in the red, a fixed fire suppression system with no evidence of any inspections, and a potentially dangerous
12-volt wiring hazard. Undeterred, this boater pledged to fix all the problems I discovered. I returned for a
follow-up VSC about two weeks later. Most of the problems were fixed, but he was still waiting on the
registration from MD DNR. I told him I would award the VSC decal once I had seen the registration. A
few days later, he drove to my house to pick up the decal. Pointing to two young girls in the back seat, he
thanked me for making his family safe. It was a vivid reminder of the importance of what we do. Imagine
how many others like him are out there, wanting to enjoy boating, while keeping their loved ones safe.
Everyone, please continue to do what you do.

Dinner Delights
If you were unable to attend the June dinner meeting for Annapolis Sail and Power Squadron,
you missed a great meeting. We always enjoy the opportunity to spend time with friends who
love boating. And, you missed our speaker – Lee Tawney, the Executive Director of the
National Sailing Hall of Fame. This nonprofit has taken on
the task of promoting America’s sailing legacy as well as
engaging the next generation in sailing.
Here are some of the interesting things we learned at this
meeting:
It’s not all about recognizing great sailors. The STEM
sailing program teaches mathematics and science through
sailing. To date, 3,650 students have received academic
credit through sailing activities.
The curriculum offered for STEM is free and online.
On Wednesday nights, nonprofit groups and their
supporters can take advantage of a free evening sail.
Opportunities to sail for free are offered to wounded warriors and veterans.
The website offers lots of opportunities to explore sailing without physically visiting the
Sailing Hall of Fame. For example, you can read selections from American literature that
highlight sailing.
Yes, there is a Hall of Fame – and you can visit it online to learn about famous sailors.
Someday, there will be a large Sailing Hall of Fame Museum. Currently, they continue to
raise money toward that project.
Looking for something to do with your sailing talents? Volunteers are needed in all capacities
– from on the water events to activities supporting the organization.
The Sailing Hall of Fame invites you to learn more about them by visiting their website:
www.nationalsailinghalloffame.org. If you have specific questions, you can contact Lee
Tawney via email at [email protected].
Remember, our meetings offer more than just food. Our speakers always have great things to
share. June was our last meeting for this summer. Join us this fall, and see for yourself at our
next meeting. We look forward to seeing you then.

navigation on board. The process of navigating by establishing waypoints and routes, and then running the
planned courses, is demonstrated. Further, electronic charting software for the desktop computer is
examined, with creation of waypoints and routes on the desktop and subsequent download to the onboard
unit. Despite differences among the various manufacturers' offerings, a thorough discussion of the features
being made available is included.
Special attention is paid to apps for tablets and smart phones that provide the electronic navigation function
at the helm, for relatively little cost. Students should be familiar with basic charting concepts such as
latitude, longitude, the compass, course plotting, and time/distance. be taught when schools are out of
session for the day.

July is high boating season here in the Chesapeake Bay region and a particularly
busy time in the middle and upper Bay with many weekend activities underway.
This includes July 4thcelebrations, which bring out throngs of boaters who after
the ‘fireworks’ are often navigating in night conditions.
July is a bit of paradox regarding boating accidents. It is the month that has
typically the fewest number of deaths in boating, but is, by far, the month with
the highest number of accidents and injuries (see charts below). Obviously the high level of recreational
boating activity coupled with the friendlier warmer water temperatures may help create this paradox,
however it is clear my the shear high volume of accidents that extra caution is in order during this month of
fun and fireworks.
In addition, the Coast Guard statistics also
highlight that over 50% of boat operators involved
in an accident have had NO boating education.
So it is prudent to assume that any vessel
approaching yours in close proximity may NOT be
experienced. Hence, make no assumptions. Boat
defensively and make sure your entire crew
keeps a lookout for operators who may not be
exercising common sense and good boating judgment.
On a lighter note, I would like to bring to your attention a great resource the
Coast Guard has created for your Smart Phone.
This Smart Phone APP is available for both Apple and Android devices and
puts in your hand a number of great features including:…
