United States Coast Guard Auxiliary
Flotilla 16-08 - 9th Coast Guard District

           Welcome
    
Welcome to the Saint Ignace flotilla's webpage.  We hope you'll find this page informative and educational.   Our flotilla is looking forward to our  37th year September 2009.  Most of our original charter members have gone into retired status but do stop by for a visit every now and then. 

Pictured above is the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island which was taken by an auxiliarist while on safety patrol.  The hotel was opened in 1887 and overlooks the Mackinac Straits where Lake Huron and Lake Michigan join, and where the lower and upper peninsula of the state connected by the Mackinac bridge.  The hotel was also seen in the movie "Somewhere in Time" and is rich in history.  It is but one of many beautiful sights in the area that our flotilla operational people see while on patrol.
                  
Our Flotilla meets monthly at Coast Guard Station St Ignace the first Tuesday of the month at 7 pm.  Check our Events page for this years meeting dates.  We do not meet during the months of January and February.
