announce the addition of a boat (hereinafter called a `facility’) which has been outfitted and prepared for use in the support of the United States Coast Guard. This facility was donated by Jim Bonnett of New Bern by way of his parents, Mac & Hob Bonnett, also of New Bern.

This facility is registered as USCGAUX 201204, and is the property of the Coast Guard Foundation. It is assigned to Flotilla 20-04 for service in aid to Station Hobucken.

The Coast Guard Auxiliary is the uniformed volunteer component of the United States Coast Guard.
