Edisto Island Coast Guard Auxiliary Hosts Course
The Edisto Island Coast Guard Auxiliary will be offering the US Coast Guard/Boat USA sponsored
“America’s Boating Course” on 1 July 2009. Classes will be held at the Edisto
Beach State Park Interpretive Center located adjacent to Live Oak Landing off Palmetto Road.
Classes will run from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Fees are $35 and include book and certificate.
This course is a great opportunity for new boaters to become acquainted with safe boating practices and
current “rules of the road” and for seasoned boaters to get ready for the season. In addition, this course
is recognized as an approved safety course required for persons under 16 years of age to operate a
boat powered by 15 hp or more.
Take advantage of a great opportunity to get prepared for the boating season. If your children and
grandchildren are old enough to take a boat out on their own, they need to take this class!
For more information contact Be Moore at 843-869-9749, e-mail: bemoore7@bellsouth.net
or Randy Hunter, e-mail randy.hunter@charter.net.
