POWER BOAT OWNERS
Attention all boat-owning PMS members!  We need your help to make the 
FINA August 12 Alcatraz swim a safe and enjoyable event.

If you have a power boat between 15 and 25 feet in length (Rigid 
Inflatable, Boston Whaler, etc., sorry no sail boats) and would like 
to volunteer to pilot the swim, please contact Swim Director, Gary 
Emich, at 650.359.3773 or email him at 
<mailto:SFBaySwimmer at sbcglobal.net>SFBaySwimmer at sbcglobal.net.

Primary responsibilities are to form a protective flank around the 
swimmers and keep an eye out for non-event boat traffic.  Water 
conditions in the Bay may be choppy and in the event of an emergency 
you may need to pull swimmers from the water - no novice pilots 
please - experienced only.

The more pilots the safer the swim.  Come on out and enjoy a morning 
on the Bay."


Have a good week
michael
