With a bit of prodding from Doug Lombard, Captain and founder of the Coho Ho Ho Rally, I signed up for Skip Anderson's Captains class at Flagship Maritime Training in Tacoma. While I have been told to "get your captains license" for years, the process has been overwhelming. Skip gave a talk to the Coho group last year and I was very impressed. He was someone I could respect, and learn from. Because it's such an intensive course, I took the boat down to Tacoma with Gabriel's help, a very wet trip! The class was great, a good group, a lot of learning, and more "cramming" than I ever did in college! Captain Kirby and Jan were constantly working behind the scenes, to help folks with the charts and process. Skip has quite a helpful teaching style, and we learned more than we ever will need to know, about an old Chesapeake chart. I was grateful to have Jack crew on the return trip. Here's pics from both "delivery" trips and the Flagship classroom. Thanks all!
Enjoy the pics! Click on the image above for the "Index" page, and on any of the pics there, for a "slideshow" with larger images.
