About Us

We are a group of mariners, both power boaters and sailors, among whom are some licensed masters, former line officers in the U.S. Navy and mariners having had numerous types of boats both power and sail. Collectively we have well over 500 years of boating experience in the open ocean, inland waters, and lakes. We have several certified vessel examiners and educators. As we see a rapidly increasing number of boat owners, and know that many states do not require any training before operating a boat, we want to share our knowledge and help as many people as we can.

We will put out a new blog post at least weekly, and hopefully semi-weekly.

We hope you will find our posts useful and informative.
