You have the right attitude toward this.
There is plenty to learn and time spent with an experienced captain will help.
Once on your own, beware of distractions from inside and outside your vessel.
We don't have double yellow lines to keep us in the correct place.
One thing to remember as you are learning is this:
Unless there is certainty that there is no possibility of collision, the operator must assume the possibility exists and take any and all action to avoid it.
In other words...don't rely on others to operate their boat correctly!
Have fun and pm me if you want to get some experience piloting around Winni at the helm of my Sea Ray 240.
Week days are best form me.
