The Card
« on: December 11, 2023, 07:01:42 AM »
Well, I was bored and figured now was a good time to take the Boater's Safety Course, been putting it off for a few years but the time has come. A little education never hurt anyone ;D I started on Saturday evening and finished last night. Nothing terribly hard, just a bit of reading and then answering some questions and then downloading the Certificate. I guess they mail the actual card when they receive add process my info. Be safe out there 8)

I spent the extra $15 to take the shorter course.  I finished it and now it's not letting me download my certificate.  I should have just stuck with the traditional method, I guess.

Good for you Tim.  I probably know more rules and regs for PWC's and Sailboats now than I ever care to.  hahaha

Congrats on the certified knowledge binge, boys. I should probably pour over my rules for review.

The temporary Boater's Card is an entire sheet of paper.  LOL

I even laminated it since the laminator at work was just screaming my name the last few years... lol

I was surprised how quickly I got the card in the mail, some of the course was good but a lot didn't apply to me
