Boat Safety course

Anyone know of a boat safety/boat Captains course. I'd be interested in learning how to safely operate a boat as we as learn about tides, swells and other dangers of being in the ocean. 

Glad you decided to take a course, go to the U.S. Coast Gaurd Auxiliary website. Enter your zip code and select your course. There are many available.

 See you on the water, Amos

Thanks
