A Cruise Notice will be sent to participating Captains and crew members beforehand. (If short notice, may be handled by phone/email.) The notice will contain the sponsor, guest names, cruise departure point and time, uni- form-of-the-day, and refreshment arrangements. When multiple yachts are used, a cruise master will be appointed to co-ordinate the cruise directions. Any special notes will be included on this notice. 2. It is the joint responsibility of the Captain and crew to contact each other by telephone/email in a timely manner to establish a place and time for the crew to report on board. (It is a point of pride with the League never to be late picking up guests.) 3. At the cruise pick-up point, be ready to receive and stow food/beverages supplied by the sponsor. Unless notified on the Cruise Notice, sponsor should furnish everything needed for serving quests. Generally, the Captain and crew are requested to arrive 30 minutes prior to departure time in order to load provisions and board guests. 4. Welcome the guests aboard at the gangway and introduce them to the Captain and crew. 5. Before getting underway, announce any ship rules/cautions, the ship’s smoking policy (Captain’s option), location and operation of head(s), advise guests of the locations of all life jackets and fire extinguishers. 6. Prior to getting underway, Captain or crew should describe the vessel (size, make, year) and inform them about the Commodore’s League (with empha- sis on the volunteer nature of the organization) and explain to the guests where the cruise will be going. (The guests are always interested in the vessel and are impressed by the volunteer nature of the Jacksonville Commodores League.) 7. Invite any questions from quests and ask all participants to sign the Guest Log. (Our objective is to make the guests comfortable - informality is the keynote.) The crew and Captain will set up and arrange the food/snacks/beverages and invite the guests to help themselves to the pre- pared food and take photos. A cruise package containing the details of the cruise, guest log form and vessel check-off sheet will be provided to each captain prior to cruise departure. 8. Return guests on schedule. Thank them for sailing with the Jacksonville Commodores League and shake hands with each guest. 3 of 37 Cruise Handbook Date: August 2008 Section I – Guidelines Topic: Conduct of Cruises Subtopic: 9. The Captain and/or crew are requested to promptly summarize the cruise with a short narrative and pictures for inclusion into the clubs website. If no camera is available, a disposable camera will be issued to take photos of the group. 10. Vessels are requested to fly the JCL flag from the starboard yard or antenna. Other Points of Note: • The Captain has the final word on canceling a cruise due to inclement weather. • Guests are requested to wear soft-soled shoes but this cannot be assured. • Make your smoking policy very clear to guests. • All cruises must be approved by the Rear Commodore of Operations prior to acceptance of the cruise to assure that they meet safety guidelines. We are not to be considered a taxi service and after dark cruises are discour- aged due to the liability to the Captain. Most cruises are scheduled for two hours. 4 of 37 Cruise Handbook Date: August 2008 Section I – Guidelines Topic: Duties of the Cruisemaster Subtopic: 1. Maintain contact with the Rear Commodore of Operations regarding weather or change of plans for cruise. 2. Make certain all Captains’ and crew are standing by and operational. 3. Command the “flotilla”, determine the route, establish and maintain radio contact with all yachts. 4. Distribute log sheets to each Captain, and transmit comments at the con- clusion of the cruise to the Rear Commodore of Operations. 5. Commodore League members who provide their private vessel for authorized cruises shall have in effect Watercraft Liability and/or Protection and Indemnity insurance coverage with limits of no less than $500,000. It is the responsibility of each Commodore League member to make sure this coverage is in force and current during any sanctioned Commodore League cruise. 5 of 37 Section II – Cruise Preparation Checklist Contact Numbers First Aid Kit 7 of 37 Cruise Handbook Date: August 2008 Section II – Cruise Preperation Topic: Checklist Subtopic: Need/Issue/Problem: Thoughtful planning and preparation prior to any boating venture is highly recommended and a checklist is an essential element of that preparation.

  • Appendix A: Historic Context and References
    APPENDIX A: HISTORIC CONTEXT AND REFERENCES FROM THE HISTORIC PROPERTIES RESURVEY, CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH, NASSAU COUNTY, FLORIDA, BLAND AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 2007 Colonial Period, 1565-1821 Founded in the early nineteenth century and incorporated in 1824, Fernandina Beach is one of Florida's oldest cities. The principal city of Nassau County, Fernandina Beach is located on the north end of Amelia Island, which has a colonial heritage associated with early French explorers, the First Spanish period, the British period, and the Second Spanish period. Early French explorers named the island "Isle de Mai" and Pedro Menendez built a fort there in 1567. In 1598 and 1675, Spanish missions built on the island contributed to a larger system implemented by the Spanish Crown to convert the Indians to Catholicism. In 1702, an English incursion from Charleston, South Carolina, attacked St. Augustine, but also invaded an outpost on the island and threatened the missions. Later, in 1735, when James Oglethorpe attempted to secure the St. Marys River as the southern boundary of his new colony, the Georgian scouted the island, which he named Amelia for one of King George II's daughters (Johannes 2000:3-4). Between 1513 and 1763, Spain failed to settle permanently any area of Florida except the immediate environs of St. Augustine. Besides establishing a permanent base at the port city and a chain of missions into the interior, the Spanish accomplished little of lasting significance. Farmers and ranchers cleared land for cattle, and planted crops and fruit trees. But, the growth of English colonies to the north in the 1700s and forays by settlers and militia into Florida destabilized Spain's nascent agricultural economy and mission system.

  • The Story of Jacksonville
    Showing Jac~sonville's Accessibility to the Centers of Population and Its 'Tropical Location Compa;ed with Other States 'Th e Memorial to the heroes of the World War is a winged figure of You.th THE STORY OJF JACKSONVJILLE The Modern City HE First Protestants in America-English Raids on Spanish Missions- The Republic of Florida- The Iockhouse-Union Occupation-River Steamer Days­ The Modero City- Descnptive Drives to Mayport, the Beaches, Fort George Island, Fernandina, Mandarin, Green Cove Springs and St. Augustine. Jacksonville is comparatively a new city. It is true, a village began to grow here in 182.1 and by 1910 had become a town of 52.,000. But in the last twenty years the town has tripled in size. This rapid expansion has necessitated heavy expenditures for paving and sewers, increases in fire and police department, and many other items inci­ dental to a city's growth. For example, twenty years ago, Jacksonville had approximately 64 miles of street paving and today has over 2.00 miles. lo srite of this, the bonded indebtedness of the citizens is stil very low­ less than $80.00 per capita. The reason for this is that about forty years ago, Jacksonville started on her career as a city of municipally-owned public utilities. She- in­ vested in her own municipal electric light plant, whose earnings now equal the operating expense of the city gov­ ernment. There is reason to believe that the growth of the plant will take care of the future increase in taxation. At the same time that it was helping to bear the expenses of growth, the electric light plant was furnishing light and power at such low prices that it saved the citizens over one million dollars a year in rates under what they would have paid a private company.

  • A. Introduction Setting the City of Jacksonville Is Located In
    A. Introduction Setting The City of Jacksonville is located in Duval County, Northeast Florida (Map 1). The St. Johns River, with tributaries throughout Jacksonville, meanders north about 40 miles through Duval County before discharging into the Atlantic Ocean. Widths exceeding three miles in the southern reaches of the St. Johns River, including its tributaries, comprise about 76 square miles of streams and waterways. The setting also includes 16 miles of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The Florida manatee, Trichechus manatus latirostris, inhabits the waters of Jacksonville year round. Few manatees are observed during winter (December, January and February). Manatees are observed from late March through November with highest concentrations occurring during spring and summer months (May, June, July and August). Florida manatees exhibit an array of activities in these waters including traveling, resting, feeding and cavorting (mating). In 1989, Florida's Governor and Cabinet identified counties experiencing excessive watercraft-related mortality of manatees and mandated that these counties take positive measures to reduce this problem. Specifically, thirteen key counties - Brevard, Broward, Citrus, Collier, Dade, Duval, Indian River, Lee, Martin, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, Sarasota, and Volusia - were to develop manatee protection plans which would address the multitude of threats facing manatees. In 1999, the Bureau of Protected Species (BPSM) which was originally responsible for coordinating and assisting in the development of these plans, was moved administratively from Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC). The Bureau was renamed later to the Imperiled Species Management Section (ISMS). As a result, data originally from FDEP is referenced in this report as coming from FWC.

  • 2017 Manatee Protection Plan Implementation Report That Reflects on the City of Jacksonville’S Efforts Towards Protecting Manatees in Duval County
    2017 Manatee Protection Plan Implementation Report City of Jacksonville Planning and Development iDepartment November 2017 Executive Summary This is a Summary of the 2017 Manatee Protection Plan Implementation Report that reflects on the City of Jacksonville’s efforts towards protecting manatees in Duval County. The third revision to the Duval County Manatee Protection Plan (MPP) was adopted by the Jacksonville City Council in 2014 and requires an annual report of the progress on implementation of the MPP. The MPP is a comprehensive planning document that addresses the long-term protection of the Florida manatee through law enforcement, education, boat facility siting, and habitat protection initiatives on a county-wide basis. The purpose of revising the MPP was to collect and evaluate updated information on manatee use and boat activity in the City of Jacksonville (COJ) and provide guidance targeted at reduction of human-related threats to manatees and manatee habitat. The MPP attempts to balance boater access to Jacksonville waterways with impact to manatees from boat traffic, and is intended to increase the predictability of permitting outcomes for boat facility development. The 2017 MPP Implementation Report is a compilation of the efforts of a wide variety of agencies that reflect the effort expended to protect manatees in Duval County waters. The report is divided into five (5) sections: Meeting Minutes, Law Enforcement Reports, Education, Awareness and Environmental Reports. The Meeting Minutes subsection report is an assemblage of the appropriate minutes of the Jacksonville (Duval County) Waterways Committee and the Jacksonville Marine Transportation Exchange (JAXMTX) Harbor Safety Committee. This section serves as a good review of the activities of the year and demonstrates the importance that manatee protection has within the City and JAXPORT.

First Battle Between Europeans for Mastery of America The early history of Jacksonville is the story of the great river beside which it stands. When Captain Jean Ribaut placed a stone column beside the entrance to the river in 1562., he became the first active challenger of Spain's claim to the whole continent. A duplicate of that column stands there today, where Ribaut and his French Huguenot sailors celebrated the first Protestant service in America. Two years later, in spite of Spanish protests, a Huguenot colony built Fort Caroline beside Sc. Johns Bluff, a few miles up the river, and Sir John Hawkins, earliest English slave trader, visi red the colony, and saw the first Protestant women and children in America braving the dangers of pioneer life. Disaster soon over­ took them, however, for in 1565 Spain sent her foremost admiral, Menendez de Aviles, to destroy chem, a cask which he accomplished with merciless efficiency. The en­ gagement, in which he captured Fort Caroline, was the first battle between Europeans in America, and in spice of a spectacular raid on che St.
