Having successfully completed our first boating season,

it’s now time to start putting the wheels of season two in motion

(helm wheel that is)…

The Advanced Piloting Course seemed to us to be a good next step for adding to our knowledge base,

having completed Seamanship last year and securing our Pleasure Craft Operators’ Card (PCOC) and ROC (Marine) license.

Following courses serves to keep us occupied during our ‘dirt people’ down time

and the cold Canadian winter,

and this course in particular focuses on

venturing into new waters

over extended distances and

dealing with the challenges of adverse conditions.

And as with last year, our dining room table

will be lost under piles of books and charts

for the next 13 weeks…
