2 OR 3 Hours of this class is for the P.W.C. endorsment that if not already
required by the state calif, maybe in the future!and yes I can't think of a better place to start!

Don't get me started on the lake lice. Lake Elsinore was Lake Lice Haven on Sunday.

Why not post a listing of all classes in California and Arizona and pin it? Or a least the links to find the class schedules.

[Rexone]

Great idea, round those links up and I'll stick them here.

united states power squadron classes are held in multible cities all over the USA and in other countries around the world. I am a past commander of a squadron from the san fernando valley. Our mission is the same as the coast guard auxilary only our group is private and not run by the government. We have had a PWC course for the last couple of years and it is a great way to start. Most people that buy a pwc will end up with a normal boat. Once you pass your safe boating class you can become a member of USPS and take elective courses in navagation, engine maintenance and radio electronics. If you the boater are willing to take the courses than you will become a safer boater and will lower the chances of being involved an accident like topock. There is a 1800 number to find a classroom near your home.

Or at the next boat show go to the United States Power Squadron booth for the information near you. If you need any futher info please email me at BGCHUBY@aol.com. I will try to help you as best I can. :messedup:

Thanks for doing that Art, I'll make a new sticky thread for them later today.
Will put in HSW only as it's kind of a west coast oriented thing with these links. Most visit there anyway at some point.

:) :) I live in canyon lake, If I can get enough of a response I can hold a power squadron class here in the area or by elsinore. If I can put together 10 to 15 people I will put the class on. I am glad that someone has posted the classes and people are finally taking the time to learn some safety. It is hard to explain to a 25 year old that he does not know everything about how to handle his boat. either email me at BGCHUBY@aol.com or post your response on this thread
