Finished the last week of our summer sailing camp. Gone are the whining
little kids. Gone are the 8 hour days of dinghy sailing. Gone are the
bikini clad assistants.
All in all it wasn't bad, though this session was the worst. 80% of this
sessions kids couldn't (or wouldn't) sail when they arrived. Turned them
all into competent sailors. The mom of the biggest whiner gave me two cases
of Dos Equis for getting her son to get over his fear of the water and

LOL you .... supposedly .... have a license. Imagine the mess if you
were teaching your versions of "Rules" and boat handling, under power!!!
Thankfully, no certified institute would hire you except as a prime
example of the "how not to do it".

Type of boat doesn't matter unless you are NOT on it.

If you give lessons in exchange for pay and if you are
aboard and the student is aboard you need a license.

Sorry. I've checked with both USsailing and the USCG. A license is not
needed for what we do. We do not take paying customers in our boats (except
for a rescue). They are 10' single handed sailing dinghies. We do not even
tow the boats except in a rescue situation.
