Boating Returns Along the Coast Says Capt Irwin
Capt Lyle T. Irwin of the U S Department of Commerce Inspection yacht the Tiger, berthed at Read Nichols Co wharf for three days, says boating is returning along the Atlantic coast and rivers. The Tiger, docked Monday morning, patrols from Canada to Mexico and inspects crew and life saving gear. Irwin notes a trend to small boats and cruisers, citing affordable prices and safety. The Tiger, crew of 13, is equipped for five fire fighting chemicals and emergency towing, with twin 350 hp motors and a high powered bow tender. He adds cooperation and public education are key to safe small boat operation. The home port is Washington, D C, with the Miami reference for Capt Irwin.
