Instructor was awesome and did a great job of encouraging students to be safe, smart and courteous boaters. His many real world stories of how safety concepts have applied to his many years of experience were engaging and helped illustrate that accidents do happen and being prepared is essential to an accident not becoming a tragedy. The venue was decent, having water/coffee available throughout the day would have been nice.
