North Shore Frogmen Club invites you to their annual Beach Meeting at Whites Beach, Manchester, MA. on Thursday, June 19th | This year the Frogmen have invited the United States Coast Guard Air Wing. The USCG is going to utilize their Jay Hawk Helicopter to demonstrate the rescue of a disabled diver. This will be a very informative demonstration; as the rescue swimmer loads a diver into the basket and is winched into the helicopter a USCG narrator will be on the beach with a loud speaker detailing every action. | There will also be a simulated rescue utilizing the Coast Guard's fast response boat, again while every detail is narrated. The demo is going to begin at 7:30pm and promises to not only be exciting, but if the actual need ever arises, we will have some idea of the protocol
involved. |

LobsterFest IV will be held Saturday, August 2nd at Ken and Michelle's house, unless the weather is a total washout. Tickets for LobsterFest are $10 per person and will be on sale at the May meeting. There will be 40 tickets available. | We've reserved 10 seats on the Cape Ann Diver II for our members. Charter rates are $75 per person, and of course, you need to have a lobster license. Payment should be made to the club. The charter boat departs promptly at 8 AM from Cape Ann Diver's new location at 7 Parker St. Gloucester, MA. We will conduct two lobster dives. Naturally, our members can also dive from their own boats, shore dive if they want, or not dive at all. We would like commitments on the charter boat by the May meeting or sooner if possible so that we can get more seats if necessary before it fills up. Last year, we ran short of seats. Please email me if you want a seat on the boat at

. | Since Cape Ann Divers requires payment upfront, we'd appreciate payment at the May meeting. For those on the charter boat, the party starts Ken and Michelle's house right after diving. For the others, please plan on a 1PM start. As in years past, there will be lots of food including Carolina style barbeque, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn, salads, Kimball's ice cream, and, of course, plenty of lobster. Per club policy, alcohol is BYOB. There will also be prizes, the usual gag gifts, and a 50-50. We look forward to seeing you all there. |

“One and two and three and four and...” could be heard coming loud and clear from the classroom above Andy’s Sport Shop on April 26. Club member and NAUI instructor, Jim McCabe presented a CPR/First Aid course for the club membership. The course was offered for those interested in obtaining their NAUI CPR/First Aid certification. Not only is this a good education for divers, but is also good knowledge to have in everyday life. One never knows when they might run into an emergency medical situation. The class began with a brief introduction about Jim and his experience as well as a general overview of what would be covered in class. Following some lecture time the students had the opportunity to perform chest compressions and rescue breathing on some specialized mannequins. After some lunch and a bit more lecture the participants had the opportunity to practice bandaging, splinting, and doing the Heimlich maneuver. When all was said and done the class had a good grasp of how to handle anything from a heart attack to a snake bite. On behalf of the members that took the course, I would like to thank Jim McCabe for offering the class and for making it so fun and enjoyable! |
