Boating Safety: 8 hr, one day course
This was an excellent course. Prior to the class, I was worried about whether I'd be able to take in so much information in one day, but the course flew by, full of well-paced, focused topics with appropriate breaks. I found that annotating directly on the provided book, helped me to retain the information well, and I appreciate that I could take it with me as a reference guide afterward. Especially notable was the upbeat, personable demeanor of the instructor, Capt. Rich, who interspersed the content with clear illustrations, history, humor, and anecdotes to emphasize the importance of boating safety rules--his vast knowledge base and positive attitude made him a great presenter. I'm so pleased to have chosen this course!

Boating Safety course
Instructor was just GREAT! Kept us focused, attentive and interactive with instructor, He constantly asked us questions, made sure we knew the material and every once in a while entertained us with jokes. This is the second course I took - the first around 1975 which my dad's friends were part of - and being the only sailor, I helped with the sailboat portion. Know that I have my own sailboat I had to go thru the course having lost my certificate years ago. I also inquired about advanced navigation courses which he mentioned were available.
