The Outer Banks Coast Guard Flotilla of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary will be offering a virtual Coast Guard approved boating safety course beginning in March. The four-session virtual Zoom course is starting March 10, 2021 and will meet twice a week for two weeks. This course satisfies North Carolina boat operator education requirements.

Topics will include an introduction to boating, boating law, safety equipment, safe operation and navigation, boating emergencies, trailering and sports and boating.

All segments will be taught by certified Coast Guard Auxiliary instructors with years of on-the-water experience and a few good stories to share.

The tuition is $20 per person and includes a textbook and all materials which will be mailed to participants.

The four sessions will meet on March 10, 11, 17 and 18. Each session will last approximately two hours, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. A Zoom link will be emailed to each participant prior to the session.

To enroll or for more information, contact Jack Horst at hoagie2160@gmail.com  or 609-504-4312.
