"About Boating Safely" Class

If you (or anyone you know) is interested, Jim will be teaching a boating safety class. He sent me the following..

Coast Guard Auxiliary Offering Boating Class on Saturday, April 9th at the Graham Fire House on 70th Ave. The “About Boating Safely” course meets the requirements for the boater education law of the State of Washington. For the 2011 boating season, all boaters, age 35 and under, who wish to operate boats and personal watercraft are required to have a Boater Safety Education Card. Other age groups will be phased in until everyone has a card.

"About Boating Safely" is designed to teach safe and enjoyable boating. It presents information to help boaters avoid problems on the water. You will feel more comfortable and confident about your boating activities after completion of the course. The topics include pre-launch activities, navigation rules and markers, required federal & state equipment, boating emergencies and safe water sports. The cost is $25 for the textbook and other materials.

Class is from 8:30am to 5pm. Please pre-register at graham.safe.boating@gmail.com Contact Jim Ehnborn @ 206-658-7887 for additional information or www.auxnorthwest.com or www.parks.wa.gov/boating
