QUIZ Time:
1. Can you identify what all of the symbols on this
chart are, and what they mean to you as skipper of your boat?
2. Can you identify the lights shown and what they mean
to you as a skipper?
If you answered "NO" to either of these questions, you could be endangering both you and your passengers. The first image shows markings that you would typically encounter on any navigable waters of the United States. Not knowing what they mean could be disastrous. The second image is that of a huge ship (freighter, aircraft carrier, etc.) and it is heading straight at you. You better know what it is, and which way to steer.
Think about it. What is your life, and that of your passengers worth to you. Is it worth taking a few classes? I hope so. We hope to see you soon.
