To Anyone & Everyone New To Boating
Way to go Larry. A big hello from 14-8!

To all of you I have one thing to say: "Take A Safe Boating Course!" Courses are available all over the place, offered by your local United States Power Squadron and your local Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla. Can't find a course nearby? You can take "America's Boating Course" right over the Internet. Operating a boat is very different from driving a car. There are far more issues to know about. Yet all anyone needs to legally drive a boat in this country is the keys. It still amazes me that at least basic safe boating courses are not required in every state that has any water. Every week this season our local paper here on Long Island has had stories of local boaters who've been killed boating ... all of them needless accidents that could have been avoided if the recently deceased had only known what they were doing. Don't be one of them. Here are some links: US Power Squadrons Boating Course: http://www.usps.org/e_stuff/Basic.html Coast Guard Auxiliary: http://www.cgaux.org/cgauxweb/classes/master.shtml America's Boating Course: http://www.americasboatingcourse.com/front/splash.htm Before you go out on the water, take the course. Please. Larry Weiss "...Ever After!" "a little after..." |
