Boat Handling Training - Certificate of Competence 2

The first time I conducted boat handling training 20 years ago, I loved it. The sun, the sea and the cool breeze. The sound of the engines , the smell of sea salt and the beautiful interiors of modern yachts all add to the allure of being out on the water. It has been sometime since I conducted formal boat handling in the Marinas. Now that I've been back at it again, I fondly remember how much I miss this life and the absolute freedom being out at sea gives.
