Well, for fear of receiving harsh criticisim I will disclose a
personal fact. I hope nobody says anyting mean to me ....

I completed a STCW-95 Basic Safety Training course (BST). Much of it
was applicable to recreational boats. I would recomend ANY yachty to
find and take the 5 day course. ALthough dragging 1 1/2" preasurized
fire hoze in a near zero visibility smoke filled and fire blazing ship
simulator building may not totaly apply to a 68' swan or flying pig.
CERTAINLY the in-water survial craft/imersion suit/cold water
survivial is 100% transferable.

So get off your fat ass and get some real training and maybe ya wont
end up like that sissy on Red Clown terrified of getting his toes
wet.

But then again STCW-95 trainig isnt needed to be a brownwater coonass
"captain" like our coffee king. Ya got to be willing to go to the deep
end of the pool. Then STCW is required.
