Subject: USCG Captains liscense....whats involved
From: Messing In Boats

Having just obtained a 50 ton Masters of the Great Lakes, I can tell you
that the schools tell you how to pass the test, but don't teach much
about being a captain. When you take the test you're advised to get off
your boat and get into the book, especially about Rules of the Road.

If what you say was true it would seem like it would be the other way around.
