Our February 15th meeting we will have Captain Skip Anderson, Director, Flagship Maritime Training, next to West Marine in Fife
A professional maritime training instructor he will discuss how the USCG license process works, and explain the rewards ... and the risks ... of earning your captain’s license. The primary elements of his USCG-approved OUPV / Six-Pack training program will be shared, including navigation, rules of the road, and deck seamanship.
