Video boat License program.

I was just looking through programs that New Hampshire has to get your boating license and it lists the usual classroom and on-line course, but it also says a video course. Has anyone done this? what is this about?

I saw this a couple of years ago. I believe it is available from MP, and I have seen a video for sale at marinas. Not sure if it is the same video.

The onhe I saw came from MP, lasts about 4 hours, and stops at intervals for the viewer to do an appropriate section in a workbook. I think the workbook is available from MP.

I know of at least one NH public library that has a copy (Merrimack) so you might borrow it on inter-library loan.

To "do" the course, you really need the workbook, but the video is well done and aimed at New Hampshire boating.

This is good info for family members who might not want a Safe Boater Certificate, bjut neede to know that when the Captain asks them to "breal out the PFD's" they don't start scratching and looking in the first aid kit for calamine lotion.
