Within a few years, I want to get a captains liscense to captain a sailboat
that is USCG approved for 49 passengers for daycharters.

What is involved in getting this liscense. All I can find by searching the
web are courses for large commercial USCG liscenses.

Any info appreciated.

Go to the below training center, one of if not the best. You can view
the web page at www.wegivethetest.com/index.html

Capt. Bill,

Spoken like a true Smart ass.

Thanks.


If you have a captain license,

I do.

and if you in fact are a boater of any sort,

I am, of some sort.

you
would know many many times you do not see day shapes, proper lighting, etc.

Yes, I do know that.
Don't see how that translates into not needed to learn/know them. In fact, if
you don't learn them, how would you know if the shape is missing or if the
lighting your seeing/showing is improper?

But
beyound that, there is a mountain of information that you must know to pass
the
captains test, that truly has no relevence to the reality of most boating.

I'd say there's a small amount of info that has no relevence to reality. But
then your boating reality and mine may differ.


back at ya!

Your serve.


Lighten up Sterling! It's only the internet. :-)

Capt. Bill

Consider myself lightened! or better yet, enlightened.

Sounds good to me.
