July 4th Celebrations

[Tin-Can]

I wasn't aware of the system that Washington has, and I don't ever plan  to operate a boat there. But I took that online Coast Guard boating course several years ago. I even paid for and received the certificate. But as many boat owners in this state have proven that they either don't know those things, don't care, or have mostly forgotten the rules of the water, I just do my best to stay out of their path, and avoid being swamped.   Of course, much of that boating  course pertains to boating off shore, or very large bodies of fresh like Great Lakes.  Since there isn't any off shore sea water close by in this state (Great Salt Lake don't really count) having that USCG Certificate is just a kind of nice to have thing.
