I enjoy watching the Mt. Washington leave the dock in Wolfeboro. They don't use a stern line at all but use a bow line and a forward Spring Line to keep the boat close to the dock, at Slow Ahead, left rudder, while boarding passengers.
When it's time to leave, they toss off the bow line and then continue to run ahead Slow with right rudder, straining Against the Spring line while nudging the pilings at the starboard bow. The stern slowly "Walks" away from the Aft pilings. When the stern is far enough out, they go to neutral then astern..backing away. Having Twin Screws is a bonus. Ahead Slow on one screw, while running Astern Slow with the other screw is something the casual bystander probably never notices. It's a pleasure to watch fine boat handling. ![]() |

I'm hoping that part of the off season maintenance includes x raying them shafts for cracks!

A boater's certificate must be either:
a. issued by the State of NH through the NASBLA course/exam/etc b. issued by another state through their NASBLA course/exam/etc - the certificate must display the state seal and NASBLA's seal This is what I have been told by the State's Boat Education office regarding licensing for out-of-state people who come to operate in NH. The state also takes Coast Guard / Power squadron etc as you all know, but that's not the point of this post. |

You might be able to get one but as you mentioned earlier, it seems that NH won't accept it unless you're a resident of that state.

Certificates are for life, they do not expire. People move from state to state and their certificates are still good. Or A person might obtain a certificate out of state while visiting or on vacation.
I took my on-line NH test while in Mass and they mailed my NH certificate to my Mass address. In my opinion the important thing is that you obtain a NASBLA approved certificate before you operate a boat over 25 horsepower in New Hampshire. |

While I respect your opinion, it is the State of New Hampshire's requirement that a certificate must be NASBLA approved AND issued by a state agency. This is (at least partly) because there was a group in MA issuing NASBLA certificates that was not affiliated with the state and not being terribly stringent with their testing, like the old NH online tests. These are what are not accepted by NH. I hadn't thought about people who move... you probably then can just transfer your certificate into that state, or continue to use your old one, since they do say it's a once-in-a-lifetime requirement (for now). |
