There was a great turnout for the US Powerboating Accelerated Safe Powerboat Handling, Safety and Rescue class that was held for the Race Committee. After two classroom sessions over the last few weeks, it was finally time to head out on the boats for some on the water training. Despite 30 degree weather, strong breezes and a little snow, everyone showed up ready to go. We had a great morning session with plenty of close quarter maneuvering practice, docking and some intense reverse slaloming. The weather just wouldn't break though so we spent the early afternoon doing some knot tying and review questions and called it a day.
The grand champion of the coiling and heaving contest was the Monroe Dockmaster, Michael D. Rumors of a rigged competition not withstanding, we all congratulate his heaving expertise.
