The Broward County Navy League Council and Broward Navy Days hosted the annual Coast Guard Christmas Party on Saturday, Nov. 29, 2008 at the Briny Riverfront Restaurant located at Las Olas Riverfront. The Coast Guard is the men and women who interdict drugs, stopping human smuggling, responding to natural disaster and helping you when you are in distress on the water.

The Coast Guard personnel from Station Fort Lauderdale and Air Station Miami (Opalaca) were on hand the free food, drinks, live music and the company of friends. Two Coast Guard patrol boats were tied-up dockside.  The mood was festive and the Holiday Decorations at Briny’s are superb.
