U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Suddenly in Command course
Midcoast Maine has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, but that beauty can hide hazards that can quickly ruin your day on the water. A rocky and unforgiving coastline, strong tides, and rapidly changing weather can conspire to make even the most experienced mariner opt to stay ashore.
U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 2-5, based at Coast Guard Station Boothbay Harbor, is offering a course that will make you a smarter and safer boater.
“Suddenly in Command” addresses issues that may arise if you encounter situations on the water that require a working knowledge o f Emergency Communications, Basic Navigation, Boat Handling, and Anchoring, as well as an overview of the items that are legally required to be aboard your boat.
Registration/information: The course offered through Zoom so summer and year-round residents can take the course. It will be held on June 20 and 22 from 6:30 to 8:30 each night. Contact David Eastwood at 207-633-4748 or davidbeastwood@gmail.com to register or to get more information.
