“I just took the my.Boat-Ed.com course and it was wonderful. I like the fact that you time each slide (making an honest person honest). I am new to boating and didn't know port from stern from anything, and now I've got it down. The course was easy to navigate through, understand, and made you realize things about boating you never thought of....but then again, that is the job of the course. I have recommended it to my friends. GREAT course.”
