This is the weekend you’ve been waiting for – a chance to get back on the water and to hone the skills you haven’t had a chance to use since last season. Last year’s event was a sell out with a wait list, so don’t wait to get on board.

You’ve asked for more time on the water to practice so we have listened and added another day. Three days instead of two. The price is only $50 more for an additional day. Life is good!

This year’s OWT will provide the traditional exercises in line handling while leaving and approaching docks, slips and moorings; rafting and separating, as well as anchoring techniques. A seminar on effective communication, along with reviews of boating skills and teamwork are also planned.

Tentative agenda:
