boating

As area lakes and streams warm up, there’s an opportunity to learn more about boating. On Saturday the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will offer a course to brush up on boating knowledge, safety requirements and general rules of the water. The class is open to beginners and experienced boaters of all ages and fulfills the state’s boater education requirement for young boaters from 12 to 18 years old. Course hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is a course fee of $15.00 for those seeking certification. To register contact the Corps of Engineers office at (641) 828-7522.
