Mr. Durant, I could not agree with you more. I have been taking the Power Squadron classes for a couple of years now and I love it. Great instructors and the cost of the classes for members are the books and basic equipment for the course. The Nav classes were my favorite. Now I know more so I can forget more! Glad I joined.....-Larry (Sacramento) -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+larry.hughston=dgs.ca.gov@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+larry.hughston=dgs.ca.gov@mailman.xmiss ion.com] On Behalf Of Frank Durant Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 6:54 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Traditional Compass vs GPS: The Reults are in andTabulated......The Winner Is!! Probably THEE best investment you can make in boating is a " power squadron " training coarse. You'l get rules of the road,marine law,basic boat handling,aids to navigation and good basic navigation skills....great organization!! _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
