is about? Are these instructors working yet? Is there a fee schedule and are there any of the experienced boaters on this site available to instuct?
People have to learn somewhere or else you have a bunch of people learning as they go and aggravating all of you that already know what you are doing.
Our family does not own a boat, although I wish we could afford to, but when we have rented in the past we always invited a friend that has years of experience boating to drive. My husband took the safe boating course ten years ago and he never felt comfortable enough to go it alone. Just saying this a service that is needed.
