Sea talk testimonials

I've been sailing for the past 45 years and now live in the caribbean. Every day I get free entertainment watching all the charter boats make basic/amateur and sometimes dangerous mistakes. If every charterer would take the NauticEd classes I would have to find another source of entertainment. Seriously however, thanks to NauticEd for educating sailors, it makes all our lives so much safer and easier.
