What: The FWC will host an open house for its 85-foot, aluminum, offshore vessel, the Gulf Sentry. The Gulf Sentry was originally manufactured in 1968 for the U.S. Air Force and was used as a missile retriever until 1994. The FWC operated the vessel for federal fisheries enforcement and search and rescue until 2008, when she went out of service for repairs. The Gulf Sentry was recently restored and now has a new bottom, engines, electrical, plumbing, berthing area, galley and improved pilot house. There also are numerous “green” features incorporated into the new design. After renovation in Fort Lauderdale, the vessel has returned to her home port of Carrabelle.
