Operator Report (July 4, 2007)

1. Today's date is: July 4, 2007

2. My boat crew includes: Stacy McCarville and Glenn Monroe

3. Safety and equipment inspection: Fuel tank just under full, engine in excellent operating condition. 2 fire exstinguishers ready for use, compass, gps, cell phone, and walkie talkie. There is also 2 different charts of the delta on board. Boat is stocked with 125 life jackets, 225 t-shirts (medium, large, and x-large. A box of koozies, eye glass clips and wrist bands. Inspection complete.

4. Time of departure from boat slip: Arrival at Tiki Laguun at 8:40 a.m.

5. During the day's operation, did you observe any children (12 and under) not wearing life jackets while onboard a boat? If so, approximately how many?
No

6. During the day's operation, approximately how many powerboats did you interact with? We interacted with 3 powerboats.

7. During the day's operation, approximately how many jetskis (personal watercraft) did you interact with? We interacted with 2 pwcs.

8. During the day's operation, approximately how many non-powered boats (canoes, kayaks, and rafts) did you interact with? None

9. Please document your observations for the first two hours:
There was a table set up on shore at Tiki Laguun by about 9:30 a.m. Immediately, our table was swarmed with boaters interested in our campaign and ready to sign a pledge to wear their life jackets. Within 45 minutes over 60 pledge cards were signed. YAHOOOOO!!!!!

B93 had not yet arrived so we had postpone giving out life jackets until 11 a.m. which was the scheduled time for them to show up. Since we were running out of life jackets to hand out (because we needed some on the boat), Stacy and I made a run to storage and picked up some more supplies.

10. Please document your observations for the balance of the day's operations:
The crew from B93 came aboard and we cruised around from Tiki Laguun to Lost Isle, to Ski Beach. We all waved to the boaters and got alot of waves and smiles back. We did not get to interact with boaters just because they were not interested in signing a pledge card. Most said they already had a life jackect and it was obvious they were not going to wear it.

We stayed out with the B93 crew for about two and a half hours. It was a whole lot of fun. Meanwhile, Gloria was working hard getting pledge cards signed. A total of 127 pledge cards were signed. Not bad, although our goal was 200. But on a good note, every weekend keeps getting better and better. Things are really picking up.

11. Time of arrival at boat slip: We left Tiki Laguun at approximately 3:20 p.m. and then departed the marina at 4:00 p.m.
