“Suddenly in Command,” is a free class via Zoom that will be offered Tuesday, Nov. 17 and Thursday, Nov. 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. It will address a situation where you are out with a friend on his boat when something happens to the skipper. The class will cover what you need to know to get help and get home.

This educational offering focuses on the “backup” member of the crew. This backup individual may be a spouse, family member, or friend that would assist in the event something might happen to the captain of the vessel.

A computer with a camera is needed to access the class. Sign up to attend at USCGAUX9ER34@gmail.com
