Not to be mean, but having a boating certificate does not mean your ready to handle the helm of a boat …………….. one of the unfortunate parts of the boating certificate process is that unlike a vehicle license - there is "no road" training.
Ha, I agree with you on that last part which is why I'm hesitant and looking for advice. I don't really know anyone here - has anyone had good experiences with the local marinas that will let you rent a "captain" for an hour or two? I figure that might be a good way to learn.
