I wish some of the Yahoo's on the water would take this course. There are so many Bozo's that don't have a clue it's not funny.

I plan on taking my 14 year old son to this. It is good hands on learning that you can't get on the internet.

I agree. Where I used to work I had many laughs over "captains" trying to dock their boats. They had huge fancy yachts but you could tell they had no experience to go with it.
