Penobscot Bay Sail and Power Squadron
      Events Calendar



                                      SUMMER IS HERE!

 July has provided it's share of very hot weather already. At one 
 point, we had more days above 90 degrees than we had above 80 degrees.
 All this hot weather brings out the need or urge for more water 
 activities to help cool off. So this means more people in and on 
 the water. So let's be careful out there as we enjoy the summer 
 boating season.
  
All boating courses have been completed until the FALL schedule is annouced later. We will post our training schedule just as soon as we have it worked out with instructors, locations and such. Keep checking the "CLASS SCHEDULE" tab for complete class details. Please BOAT SMART - BOAT SAFELY:
   ... Get a Vessel Safety Check of your boat
    ... Take a BASIC BOATING CLASS - Learn the "RULES of the Road"
    ... Wear your life jackets
    ... Use common sense - it will save your life
    ... Any one of the above can save your life!
    ... All of the above will increase your pleasures on the
        water and improve your chances of a safe return to enjoy
        yet another day on the water.
    ** REMINDER ** January, 2007, Maine passed a law concerning the operation of Personal Water Craft (PWC). This law requires 16 and 17 year olds to be accompanied by an adult (at least 18 years of age) OR have passed a boating safety course to legally operate a PWC.
If interested in attending a Boat Smart safety course, contact our Education Officer for further details. Check with our Education Officer or check the Class schedule for date and location details.
If you have a particular class in mind that you would like to take that is not offered, please notify our Education Officer for more details and indicate your interests.
We have classes for both squadron members as well as non-members. Come learn and share with fellow boaters of all ages, backgrounds, and experience.
