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.

This is basically correct.


Oh, and by the way you aint gonna get a fancy 25 grt Master license to
hang on your wall anymore........... its gone. Now all you get is the
Mercant Mariner's Credential..... a passport looking thingy.
