Finished the last week of our summer sailing camp. Gone are the whining
little kids. Gone are the 8 hour days of dinghy sailing. Gone are the
bikini clad assistants.
All in all it wasn't bad, though this session was the worst. 80% of this
sessions kids couldn't (or wouldn't) sail when they arrived. Turned them
all into competent sailors. The mom of the biggest whiner gave me two cases
of Dos Equis for getting her son to get over his fear of the water and
sailing.

How is it that you can train kids for money and not have
a USCG Captain's license?

A USCG license is not required for instructors.

LOL you .... supposedly .... have a license. Imagine the mess if you
were teaching your versions of "Rules" and boat handling, under power!!!
Thankfully, no certified institute would hire you except as a prime
example of the "how not to do it".

If you had a captain's license, you would know the answer to that question.
Think about the type of boats we're using.

Type of boat doesn't matter unless you are NOT on it.

If you give lessons in exchange for pay and if you are
aboard and the student is aboard you need a license.

There are hundreds of camps where students are taught sailing. The
"counsilers"
don't have any Captain's Licenses.
