Just remember that there is more to it than just driving. I suggest you take the CG course. I am constantly amazed at the number of big expensive boats I see up on the sand bar at Oakland Beach and Conimicut Point. Green cans everywhere and these guys are all on the wrong side headed out.

Another pet peeve of mine is, "boat on your right has the right of way". I'd like to have a dollar for every time I have had to heave too to avoid an impending collision. Just the other day I had a guy in the middle of Narr bay down by Hope island barrel across my bow. We were on a definite collision course and if I hadn't backed down there would have been one. Even more unbelievable is he had 2 small kids on board without life jackets on. BTW, yes I was on his right but he could have cared less.

No boat, back in the suds.
