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?


A captain's license by itself these days does not qualify you to receive pay
from passengers.

The Big Brother govt. recently added another requirement that makes a
stand-alone captain's license good for wiping your arse and that's about it.

You will need to subject yourself to a govt. dog and pony show (much of it
duplicating captain's license requirements) to get the required
Transportation Workers Identification Credential card to make your captain's
license legal for carrying passengers for hire.

Tell Big Brother to go **** himself like I did.

You can lie about your past drug abuse, and still get your license.

You can pick up a lot of guys in the sailing classes that you teach. Those
young studs will really be impressed with your license.
