U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 8-12 (Lake Martin-Tallapoosa River-Auburn University) want to let the Lake Martin community know that safe boating is very important to us. During the week of the 19th, the USCG Auxiliary 8-12 will be on the water or at Still Waters Marina, making sure that you are safe as you enjoy the begining of Summer. Make sure you are wearing your personal flotation device when operating a PWC or vessel. Make sure to watch out for others. And most importantly, do NOT drink and operate a vessel. It's against the law.

See you on the water!

Headlining Blackberry Smoke - You can call Blackberry Smoke’s music southern rock and you wouldn’t be wrong. Or you could call it country and you wouldn’t be wrong, either. But you would be selling both the band and its legion of fans short. With influences that run the gamut from country to bluegrass to gospel and yes, southern rock, Blackberry Smoke is more than the sum of its diverse parts.

Are you an avid Personal Watercraft (PWC) rider, or do you know someone who is? If you are interested in spending eight days cruising 600 miles on the Tennessee River and raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, then this is the place for you!

To find out what the Tennessee River 600 is really all about (and no, it is not a race), check out our About Us page. If you don’t have enough time in your schedule to join us for the entire trip, check out our 2011 itinerary (we will have the 2012 itinerary available as the event gets closer) and consider joining us for just a day or two. Hopefully, we’ll see you on the water!
