Boat Safety Class: Is it Really Important?
by Jose Rossello
"The best way to be a safe boater is to be a smart boater," as declared by one of the members of a boating association. Along with this, it has been emphasized by most sailing organizations to ensure safety in every sailing event. Attending boat safety classes is one way to being a smart boater.
Learning nowadays is not confined in a four-cornered room although you can opt to be taught in a regular classroom setting. These days, especially with boat safety classes, you have the choice to enroll in a community class or via the internet.
Before you decide on going back to school, it is important to screen which courses you will take if you don't plan to take the entire boating courses. To help you decide here are some of the common courses which are normally being taken.
General Boating Course
When you enroll on a general boating course you can expect that your teachers will teach you the basics of nautical facts such as history of boating, rules and regulation on boating which is usually dependent on your location. Most importantly, a little of everything about boating will be taught to you.
Boating Skills
Once you take a course on boating skills you will gain knowledge on the basics of how to properly handle boats. Additionally, rules and regulations in navigation are also included in boating skills courses. You will also be taught "boating language" so that you will have no difficulty understanding terms when you are in the open water. Boating Safety Course
Due to many boating accidents, this course is necessary. It is important for every sailor to require themselves to take the course, experienced or not. Indeed, experience counts but it will make a difference if you are up-to-date with safety measures.
A course on safety boating generally talks about the dos and don'ts that you need to undertake once you are out in the water to keep you and your passengers safe. There are instances when first-aid trainings are being included along with boating safety courses.
After you have decided what specific courses you will get in, the next best step for you to do is screen your preferred institution where you will take your classes. You need to know if the institution is duly accredited. The internet is a good venue for you to recognize particular schools or organizations which can best help you with your ordeal. You can even get your boat safety class online.
It is also wise to ensure if lecturers and trainers are competent. Most often than not, competency will rely not just simply by knowing the theories behind every lesson, experience is a good partner of theories so that you have absolute knowledge and practice of what you are teaching. Hence, it is best to have teachers who know how to put into practice what they are teaching.
Going to school again should not be given second thoughts for you will not end up losing anything. You will gain knowledge which you can put into practice on how to ensure safety once you have sailed.
Be a smart boater. You can do it by being a responsible boater. Taking boat safety classes reflects that you are being responsible on your actions. As a boater, you cannot afford to let somebody be injured or worse die in your hands.

Rocky Slaughter's Application to "A Really Goode Job"
This is my video tribute to the Murphy-Goode Winery in Healdsburg, California.
If this video does the trick, there is a chance that I may be paid $10K to learn about the winemaking lifestyle and share the whole experience with the world via different Internet marketing strategies.
I think this job would fit me well. After all, the boss, Dave Ready is laid back and likes South Park.
Wish me luck.
By the way, the beginning scene is based around the game of Liar's Dice. The game consists of two or more people who bet, roll dice, and then try to guess certain amounts of dice between the group. For example, if there were two players, it would be common for someone to guess that between the two cups there are "Four Twos." The premise of the game forces you to "one up" the person who goes before you. If the person says "Four Twos" for example, you must say "Five Twos" or "Four Threes." I took the idea of "one-upping" to find a more creative way to show my skills.
P.S. The video of the live set I played with Weezer is located here: http://new.music.yahoo.com/Weezer/vid...
