IF YOU INTEND TO TAKE ANY OF THE ABOVE CLASSES, YOU MUST CONTACT ME AHEAD OF TIME TO ASSURE THAT SUFFICIENT MATERIALS ARE ON HAND.

Members have asked me which of the OSC is “easiest”. In my opinion, based on several years of teaching the classes, from simplest to more complex, they are: Patrols, Seamanship, Weather, Communications, Search & Rescue, and Piloting. None are beyond your abilities. Take a class!

If you’ve completed any of the above, consider teaching one or two nights of the course. This serves two purposes; it keeps the subject matter fresh in your mind and it will alleviate the workload on the primary instructor – ME! Thank you.
