Lt/C Phyllis Jones, AP/IN
Kennebec River Sail & Power Squadron
My Boating experience started as a child on Moosehead Lake in my Dad’s 14 ft. aluminum boat.
When I had my family, I had an 18 ft boat for towing the kids around our local lakes. When the
kids were grown, I moved to Michigan and enjoyed fishing & boating the Great Lakes. I joined
the USPS Power Squadron and took courses, as the Great Lakes was different from the boating that was familiar. Soon after joining I became a Certified Instructor for the Power Squadron,
as I was already a Red Cross First Aid & CPR Instructor. I have held several officer positions, including; Editor for newsletters, Safety Officer, Administrative Officer, and Vessel Safety,
Chairman. In 2000, I became a trained Vessel Safety Examiner by the USCG. When I moved
back home to Maine, I transferred to the Kennebec River Sail & Power Squadron and continued
to teach and take new courses. I am presently the Educational Officer for KRSPS (4yrs) and Certified Instructor and have completed the On the Water Certificate-Inland.I am working toward the Coastal –On the Water. I love spending boating time on the water, coastal and inland.
