For a starter, check with the Canadian Sail and Power Squadron at
http://www.cps-ecp.ca/courses/eng/piloting.htm.
Advance distance courses are available only to members. However they may
refer you to one of your local Power Squadron.
I have found out that those who took this type of classroom course without
on the water practice had problem to assimilate the course.

I checked that out when Don suggested it. I saw the bit about members only
for the advanced, too.

I agree with your comment about practice - theory's fine but putting it to
use is where it counts.
