Boater Education card

I went ahead and took the coarse and got my card.   Don't know off hand if the Sate requires a card for boat rentals, but it seems to me we have discussed this and I can't remember.....................GT

Do you need a boaters card for a float tube? I forgot.

Not yet...........

ya its good to just go ahead and get it GT , but nope for boat rentals you will not need the card or float tubes of kayaks . at least Yet . It is good knowledge to have and know

Good job buddy I need to get on this soon.

Way to get out in front of this GT.
How long is the card good for?

I looked on their website and decided I have a few years to get to it.

California Harbors and Navigation Code Section 678.11(b) contains the following phase-in schedule based on operator age:

January 1, 2018 Persons 20 years of age or younger
January 1, 2019 Persons 25 years of age or younger
January 1, 2020 Persons 35 years of age or younger
January 1, 2021 Persons 40 years of age or younger
January 1, 2022 Persons 45 years of age or younger
January 1, 2023 Persons 50 years of age or younger
January 1, 2024 Persons 60 years of age or younger
January 1, 2025 All persons regardless of age

well I wanted to get it done before I become to senile..........its a lot of reading and quizzing and final test. I'm lucky I remember my name, pushing 70 this year........so excited .......GT

I believe that I will start turning some of my focus in 2018 toward this Boater Education card.

Thanx for the heads up GT!

Yes Ii did........It's $30 and you get 90 days to complete the course I believe. You have a quiz after each chapter and a final exam......GT
