Thanks to everyone for their responses, much appreciated !
That's what make this web forum great, that we can all share information.

I think the key words in Section 270:30 is "unless the person is accompanied by a person 18 years of age or older who has a valid safe boater education certificate". That cover's him and myself for his age. I'm going to print that Regulation out and keep it with my boat registration, just in case the M.P. should want to discuss the matter !

Yes, I will continue his boating education, and to allow my grandson to operate the boat under my supervision. Listen....after 40 years boating myself
I'm always learning something new, usually because the regulations are constanly changing.

I forgot to mention, he's also has been at the helm on the ocean, during several boating excurions in Narragansette Bay R.I. I couldn't be a prouder grandfather. When he is of age, he will definitely take the safe boating certificate course.

Thanks again folks... See you on the water next Spring !
