Greetings fellow SYC members,
As you know the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons offer a range of dry-land courses designed to enhance your piloting and boat-handling skills. These include Boating 1 (Pleasure Craft Operator's Card), Marine Radio, Boating 2-3 (Introduction to Marine Navigation), and this fall's offering, Boating 4 (Near Shore Navigation Level 1). Among the topics covered in this course are dead reckoning, aids to navigation, anchoring, compass deviation, relative bearings, tides, weather and more!
The course is open to anyone interested in improving their skills as a navigator although it would be helpful to have had experience with Boating 2-3.
If you are interested in increasing your skills as a navigator, or if you are just in need of a refresher, consider registering for Boating 4. The course gets underway at Living with Lakes on September 18 and runs Tuesday nights until December 4. More information about fees, course content, as well as registration procedures, can be found here:

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
Enjoy the rest of the season!
