Remember that you should have this done every year. Its not only for your safety, but it's also for the safety of everyone that you may have on board your boat. It doesn't hurt to have it done, it doesn't take that much time, its free, and best of all it may save your life as well as your passengers.
If you would like a free vessel exam click on this LINK FREE VESSEL EXAM to email us and one of our qualified members will contact you and make an appointment. Once your vessel has passed you will be awarded a 2008 boating safety decal which you can proudly display on your boat. If for some reason your vessel does not pass, our qualified member will explain to you exactly what it is that you need for it to pass and revisit your boat when you contact him or her to ensure that you receive your boating safety decal.

Boating Safety & Seamanship Class 2008
If you have never taken a BOATING SAFETY & SEAMANSHIP CLASS then it's about time you started thinking about it. Did you know that there are almost twice as many boats on the water today then there were just few a short years ago. And did you know that most boaters today have no idea what boating safety is? I've been boating for more years then I care to remember and I took the class myself. I thought with all the years of boating that I had behind me that I knew most everything that I needed to know, BOY WAS I SURPRISED. I found out how much I didn't know about boating safely on the Great Lakes. This class goes over most everything you will need to know about boating safely. From understanding what those little red and green floating thingys are, to knot tying, from understanding the weather, to plotting a course on a navigation chart. Plus again this year we are adding to our weather class the NOAA weather watcher training so that you will become a certified weather watcher. The members of Flotilla 10-06 are looking forward to seeing you at this years class.

USCGAUX Flotilla 10-06 is happy to announce that the 2008 B.S.&S. Class will begin on the 1st Tuesday Following the 2008 Cobo Boat Show.

Registration 1830 hours (6:30 P.M.)

Costs:
$85.00 (Cost includes Text Book and training chart of Lake Erie. You will be required to obtain your own charting tools for the Advanced Navigation Class. Charting tools will be available for sale at the class)
$50.00 for Advanced Navigation only. (Please read note below concerning the Advanced Navigation class)

Beginning this year we will be offering Advance Navigation along with our regular B.S.& S Class. This class is being offered to anyone who has already taken the Boating] Safely course in the past and would like to take an Advanced Navigation class without having to retake the entire course. The class is 2 hours long, held over 2 days, for a total of 4 hours of class time. The only prerequisite is that you must have already taken a Boating Safely course prior to taking the Advanced Navigation course to qualify. For those that will be taking the Advanced Navigation course only please bring the Boating Safely certificate that you received after completing a boating safely course when you come to sign up for the class to ensure that you will be granted a seat. The class will be held during the regular Boating Safely course and anyone wishing to attend will join the other students on those 2 days only. Check the schedule below for the dates that the Advanced Navigation class will be held.

Classes Will Start Promptly at 1900 Hours (7:00 P.M.)

At the end of each class there will be homework assigned and this homework will be turned in at the beginning of the next scheduled class to be checked by a qualified member. Once we check your homework it will be returned to you and if you are having problems in any area we will go over these areas with you. We are doing this to ensure that when you leave this class you will be confident that you have received the best training available.
