I am the training officer for the Valley Squadron of Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons.
We teach safe boating.
This week we start a slate of weekly courses. Tuesday Seamanship, Wednesday The Boating Course in Abbotsford and Harrison Hot Springs, Thursday The Boating Course in Chilliwack.
My job is to set these up and get them going, doing registrations, handing out course supplies.
I am taking an active part in the Seamanship Course in planning and preparing sessions. Tonight is the first night and I will be alone in front of a group of expectant boaters.
I never instructed a class before. It is amazing how much prep work one has to do for two hours.
I do have some experience in one-on-one teaching. Actually, I prefer to call it facilitating.
The most important thing is to come back safe and alive.
Anybody can leave the dock.
