Suddenly In Command (SIC)
The captain of a vessel becomes incapacitated or falls overboard. You are the obvious person to take over, and you are Suddenly In Command. This 2-4 hour boating safety primer is designed for those not generally at the helm, and will help you to be prepared with the basics in case of an emergency. It’s a “wake-up call” for your responsibilities. You will learn about your vessel, and operating principles. Also included are descriptions of boating mishaps, how to minimize them.
Misfortune occurs in seconds, and you have the rest of your life to be grateful that you knew what to do because you were prepared. This seminar may be shortened to meet local needs.
