Taking a boating safety course is not only required by California law, but is important to keep you and your family safe.

One such boating safety course is being offered by The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 12-02. The two session course called ‘About Boating Safely’ is to be held at the VIMS (Virginia Marine Sciences) Building in Wachapreague and will begin on April 17, 2010.

The course is designed to create awareness of boating safety for jet-ski and motorboat users alike. With the constant stream of breaking news on boating disasters, it is good that a safety course is being held. Not everyone is well versed with using the safety equipment, trailering, and navigation for sailing and motor vessels.
