AMIB works with our chief instructor, Blair Smith, to offer a variety of important boating
courses and workshops.  Most of our courses are held during the Fall and Winter.  The rest of the time we are out boating!

We thank Blair for volunteering his time and expertise to help boaters improve their boating skills.
Our boating courses for the 2017-2018 session are now over.  Blair Smith taught 12 boating courses and we thank him again for his time and effort.
