Our local marina is hosting a Captain's License course (six pack)
next month.

Other than being able to charge passengers for passage, what
would be a good reason to have a captains ticket.

Also?
What's the legal down side?

Pro: You're bound to learn something worth knowing in preparing for the
test.

Con: What the Government giveth, the Government can taketh away. And being a
"Professional" carries an extra load of responsibility should the fan go
"splat!"

Alternative: Take the course, refuse the license.
