Keeping Commercial Boats Safe

The program at the Newport Rotary Club on April 25, 2011 was Barry Everhart, US Coast Guard Commercial Fishing Vessel Safety Examiner.

Barry distinguished the several different types of vessels requiring inspections, and described numerous safety related stories with NC connections. He is the sole civil service employee Examiner in North Carolina, but supervises a large group of Coast Guard Auxiliary, and provides courtesy examinations, as opposed to the mandatory ones required by the Coast Guard.

We were joined by special guest DGE Mark Lynch of the Fayetteville Lafayette Rotary Club.
