I would be interested in the online course because I am time and distance challenged. I am not sure that I even want to get a license,but I would like to take the course just to be a better educated boat owner. What I would like to find is someone that teaches on the water boat handling courses topics like anchoring, docking,electronics and etc that would do it on and on myschedule. Never had much problem with my 25 cc catamaran but when I stepped up to the 28 W/AI found there was a lot I didn't know.

Good for you Chris!

Thanks for all of the great replies. I have to admit that my jokes may be bad at times, but they do keep you from taking an 800 dollar nap. Cooper hasn't been a fixture as much in the classroom anymore, but for those of you who took my classes and Cooper was there too, let me know. I can always bring my little buddy back.



As far as on boat training for those that are interested, I have always offered to my students and friends any extra time I may have to help you understand your boat and the electronics on board. If it is on a trailer, bring it up to the shop and we can take a look anytime I am there.



I can try to make time to do sea trials for those who are interested. I am sure there are a slew of people in and around Pensacola that could do the same. Winter would be the best time when the Charter Boat guys are fishing as much. They tend to get a little hungry around then.



Any of you that want to put an ad up or bring in a card to put up in my shop, feel free. I have always offered that and I find it is a good way to network.



Support the local fishing community, keep the water clean and stay safe out there. Never take a risk for the money. Life is more precious.

thanks for all the info, I've been trying to figure out how get mine for a couple of yrs, short of taking 2 wks of vacation.... I've got the water time, and I think pretty solid on the books, laws, ror, etc, just haven't been able to forsee a 2 wk window to try and sked a course.

being retired Navy, I'm pretty used to and have done alot of the distance learning format and online progression. Followed with a couple of days of classroom for QA and so forth would be a tremendous thing for me.

keep us informed

Thanks to Captain Casey and six intense days of classroom time the Coastguard just mailed my license this week. It was a pain in the ass, a mile af red tape, and about 1,300.00 dollars. I couldn't have done a computer course. Ther is no substitution for the classroom.

Scott,

I am Captain Casey's Mariner Services Director at Passport Marine in Pensacola. If you are former Navy, you might want to get a pre-evaluation from us for creditable sea service. Give us a call 850.455.8833. Former USN and USCG personnel are especially coveted for work in the maritimeindustry.

Allison

Captain, My Captain,

I expect you guys are battening down the hatches in the GOM for Hurricane Gustav. They were capping off for weenie--as it turned out--TS Fay last week. "$800 nap"---Rules of the Road, right? All part of the wonderful world of USCG-approved training! See you next week hopefully.

Allison

PS: I agree that Cooper is great dog.
