Looks like the Navy is training future bareboat charterers.


Yeah, the question is why... :-)


Possibly to mingle with and ferret out all those subversive Capt Ron
types out there? Undercover DEA work or surveilance? Intelligence
gathering? Wannabe Cuban cruiser interdiction?


Lots of possibilities.


My first thought too..... Poof ! Just another charter boat bumbling
about the "tourist fleet" Am I reading too much into this?????




I wasnt too sure what these guys do until I read this discription.
CHeck it. And why would a SBT want to take a 2 week cruising keelboat
course?

I'm not sure if I want the bad guys of the world thinking every
cruising sailboat is full of SEALS.......... Although, maybe that IS a
good idea.
