Boating Safety
A brief course on the basics of boating safety is being offered by an experienced boater and USCG Auxiliary certified instructor. This condensed course is not an official USCG Auxiliary boating course.
The course will explain:
How to read a nautical chart using Estero/Naples/Ft. Myers charts. The course will cover how to use the chart color schemes, buoy markers, Compass Rose, depth readings, and other symbols on the nautical charts.
The basic navigation rules of the road will be explained, including ROW, overtaking another boat, and other rules. Frank will demonstrate the proper use of the marine radio.
Tips will also be provided on boating apps for navigation and tides.
This course will be taught by an experienced boater who has held a "six pack" Captain's license, and currently is a certified boating instructor with the USCG Auxiliary.
