BW; I know you aint know yuppie... it's just so tempting cause you live on the island, my offer still stands anytime your on the rhody mainland......
BJS sorry for my rant I had just worked the weekend in Newport and was frustrated with the morons out there, it wasnt your boat so I agree your buddy needs lessons, you're cool 
Even if you dont own a boat, if you dont know a ton, take a boating class even without a boat, it will help in the long run if you get into a similar situation.....

My problem is more in venturing out in an ill equiped boat and running into problems, which may or may not have been you guys... I run a variety of boats, mainly a 60ft commercial pax. vessel, along with a small r/v and several small fishing boats. My personal boat is a 13ft whaler, and I would never leave the dock w/o a compass, flares, fog horn, vhf and cell phone. On nights with Fog in the forescast I wont even leave my side of the bay, at worst I can pick my way along the shore and get home.

My tactics EXACTLY....and I run a 19' Whaler. If I call the CG ONCE in my lifetime for help, it will be 1 time too many, as far as I am concerned. |

Power Squadron has a course at Bristol/Plymouth Tech. High school in taunton. You missed the spring course but I believe they may have another. Coast Gaurd courses are available also but I don't know where or when.

any info on courses would be appreciated
I grew up on boats, but that was in a lake. Hope to be buying a boat by late fall or over the winter, and want some classes before I launch into the big water

I found classes from Power Squandron's main page and other classes available through the Coast Guard - specifically under the auxillary Coast Guard pull down menu.
