Any recommendations for a captain for hire for a couple days or an official boating class in the Jacksonville, FL area. My wife and I just bought our first trawler!
I shared about that in another post with lot of pics.
We've been around boats most of our lives. Just never run anything bigger than 30' center consoles. We understand tides, wind, current, anchoring etc.
We'd love to get some formal training on docking a boat this size, choosing a good anchorage and would love to improve on our existing understanding of reading charts and navigating.
We're set to drive south from Western NC and board our new boat for the summer in early June. We'll spend the summer living and cruising on the boat with our 4 kids and our dog Sunny. The attached pic is of me and the kids sitting on the flybridge one night after supper while we were down for sea trial etc.
We're pretty fired up for the adventure.... Just want to get started right.
We changed the boat name from Old Spice to Summer School.
Stoked.
Many thanks!
