BOATING COURSES
Picture

​Take our courses and be prepared the next time you are on the water.  Here is an example of the importance of being prepared on a boat.
Thank you to Sallie for forwarding this link about a novice sail boater who rescued a woman who had been in the water for 12 hours off the coast of California.
She was spotted, thanks to some dolphins seen by the skipper.
The skipper had  prepared well for emergencies, trained himself by taking safety courses and trained his guests before they left the marina. 

Here's the link:
