Boater’s Landing

We have the boating expertise to help you enjoy your boat to its fullest. As a New Boat Dealer in 1988, Boater’s Landing started with a boat line from its founders own name sake - the Four Winns Boat company. As the founder of Boater’s Landing - Bill Winn Jr. was also one of the original Four Winns that started the Four Winns Boat Company. With the Winn family as owners and managers of Boater’s Landing we are proud of the boats still built up in Cadillac Michigan. Four Winns offers a great selection of high quality Horizon Bow Riders, Horizon Deck Boats, and Vista Express Cruisers. In 2000 Boater’s Landing added a great Salt Water fishing boat brand to its fleet – Key West Fishing boats. For 2020 the Key West fishing boat line offers 14 different fully foamed models to choose from, you wouldn’t expect the pricing of these fully foamed fishing boats to be so much less than the premiumpriced boat brands with the same building standards. Check out the full line of Key West Bay Boats, Center Consoles, and Dual Consoles at Boater’s Landing. They retain the same

excellent build quality provided by Key West, as well as the up-right foam flotation that they’re famous for. The most recent addition to the Boater’s Landing line up in 2019, also featuring Yamaha Outboards and Mercury Outboards are the Wellcraft Fishing Boats. Built alongside the Four Winns deck boats in the Cadillac factory we’re proud to have them join our family here in Fort Myers.

We Buy Used Boats, Repo Boats, Bank Boats & we take Trade-Ins: RVs, motorcycles, cars, and boat trailers. We service the boat brands we sell (Four Winns - Sport Boats and Yachts, and Key West Fishing Boats) in all of Lee County, Collier County, and Charlotte County in the areas including: Ft. Myers, Ft Myers Beach, Sanibel, Cape Coral, Matlacha, Pine Island, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Bonita Springs, Naples, Golden Gate, and Marco Island. We sell two brands of boat trailers: Rocket Boat Trailers, Magic Tilt Boat Trailers. Now offering Boat Storage.

What’s Your Dream Job?

SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 6, 2023

– By the time Maine Maritime College student Mike Blunt had become the youngest towing captain employed at a recreational boat towing company in his home town of San Diego in 1998, he had already worked on a fuel dock, held jobs in the sportfishing fleet, and was a certified rescue diver. That’s when, he says, he cultivated his passion for the sea and set a goal: By age 50, he wanted to own his own recreational marine boat towing business.

After a false start or two, he’s now gotten his dream job as the new owner of TowBoatUS Sarasota and TowBoatUS Manatee River, Florida, two of more than 300 TowBoatUS locations across the country that provide on-water towing, ungrounding, battery jump and fuel drop-off services to recreational boaters 24/7. All TowBoatUS companies are locally owned and operated.

Soon after the fateful summer job and while still in college, Capt. Blunt made his first attempt at purchasing a local TowBoatUS company on the California coast, but funding proved to be elusive. He later moved to the Tampa region and for the last 19 years has been

TowBoatUS

Capt. Mike Blunt Just Got His!

working in the maritime shipping industry. Three years ago he came close to purchasing another red-boat location, but the sellers had a lastminute change of plan. Other prospects also didn’t pan out – until now.

“I’m so excited to have my own TowBoatUS territory!” said Blunt. “I love being able to help boaters and make their day better.” The company’s dispatcher, Ray Sickles, who, for more than 21 years, has helped boaters get the on water help they need, remains with the business.

Much like an auto club for recreational boat owners, Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) offers on-water Unlimited Towing Memberships for Florida boaters and anglers for just $165 per year. Included with Unlimited Towing membership are more than 25 Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) benefits and discounts, a subscription to BoatUS Magazine, free DSC-VHF radio registration, and more.

Blunt has three red TowBoatUS

response vessels and he plans to add a fourth. All of the company’s captains are U.S. Coast Guardlicensed. Separate from BoatUS onwater towing, the company offers boat salvage and environmental remediation services.

The fastest way to request assistance is to download the free BoatUS App, which connects boaters to the closest local towing captain. Additionally, both TowBoatUS locations can be reached at 941-228-8684, or by phoning the BoatUS toll-free 24/7 Dispatch Center at 800-391-4869.

For more go to BoatUS.com/ Towing or call 800-888-4869.

Cobalt Premieres New Series-Topping R35 Sterndrive Luxury Runabout

NEODESHA, Kan., Feb. 15, 2023

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Offering day boaters an even larger combination of style, comfort and convenience, premium luxury manufacturer Cobalt Boats has announced the introduction of its all-new R35 Sterndrive luxury runabout. With a 35’ 4” LOA and 10’ 10” beam, the R35 is an inviting space for boating with family and friends, boasting impressive performance and a long list of luxury features.

Powered by your choice of Mercruiser or Volvo twin engines, the R35’s elegantly sleek lines continue Cobalt’s trend toward contemporary design, with a deep cockpit and greater freeboard for a more spacious interior and larger bow and cockpit areas. Standard amenities include a Garmin glass cockpit with multiple touchscreen displays, ultra-fast USB-C charging stations, a wealth of storage space and cupholders, an integral swim step and a cabin that, along with sleeping, accommodates seating for use with a smart TV/music player/gaming console. Other premium options include a Harman Kardon premier

marine audio system, a side-entry door, a Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilization system and Cobalt’s patented Splash & Stow inflatables management system.

New luxurious options for the R35 are an Auto Deploy Galley, complete with sink, microwave and electric grill, which rises from a solid bench seat at the touch of a button; a Helm Watch display that offers passengers access to charts and cabin controls on a dedicated Garmin screen; a built-in combination deep freezer/fridge with an adjustable temperature range from 0 to 50 degrees; and a FLIR compact thermal camera that provides an added level of safety and situational awareness.

“Designed to completely reimagine the day boating experience with its size, comfort and luxury, the new R35 Sterndrive is the epitome of R Series sophistication,” said Jason Turner, Cobalt’s President.

Currently in production, the new R35 Sterndrive is available through Cobalt’s World Class Dealer Network.

By exploring and progressing new technologies, we will help our customers reduce their carbon footprint

and offer solutions that enable a new level of excitement, experience and comfort onboard.”

At this year’s Miami Boat Show, YMI was able to exhibit its range of common rail engines and propulsion systems for sail and motorboats in a joint display with partner VETUS Maxwell USA. VETUS Maxwell’s establishment in the U.S. celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Brunswick Corporation Names John Buelow President - Mercury Marine

METTAWA, Ill. (February 7, 2023) - Brunswick Corporation (NYSE:BC) today named John Buelow Executive Vice President and President, Mercury Marine. John was previously Vice President, Global Operations, Mercury Marine and succeeds Chris Drees, who has decided to leave Brunswick to pursue opportunities outside the Company and the marine industry. Buelow will report to Brunswick Chief Executive Officer David M. Foulkes, effective immediately.

“John is an established leader with close to 20 years of experience at Brunswick in a number of global leadership roles and I am confident that he will continue Mercury’s momentum and sustained growth,” said Foulkes. “John’s promotion is indicative of the talent and experience we have in our management ranks across the entire Company and our continued focus on succession planning.”

Buelow joined Mercury Marine in 2004 and during the first six years of his Brunswick career held a variety of positions in Finance, including Vice President and CFO of Brunswick Marine in EMEA and

Asia-Pacific. From 2010 until 2023, John held several leadership roles at Mercury’s global headquarters in Fond du Lac including: Vice President, Business Development; Vice President and General Manager, Mercury Castings; Vice President, Category Management & Strategic Planning; and for close to five years, Vice President, Global Operations.

During his tenure as head of Global Operations, John was integral to planning and executing many significant enhancements and expansions of Mercury’s manufacturing facilities, and to the launch of Mercury’s recent awardwinning products including the 600hp V12 Verado outboard, the new V10 Verado outboards, and the Avator electric outboard family. He also drove innovative manufacturing improvements to Mercury plants across the globe, managed significant capital investments such as the recent outboard engine capacity expansion and the new distribution center in Brownsburg, Indiana, all while positively impacting the Company culture with a strong focus on employee wellbeing, safety, and sustainability.

8 Dock and Dine Restaurants Every Boater Should Dine At

Only boaters understand the unique joy of docking at a trendy, waterside restaurant and grabbing a bite. There are few greater pleasures than easing into a dock after a day of cruising and enjoying a delicious meal alfresco.

If you haven’t yet joined the dock and dine club, trust us when we say you’ll want to. To get you started, we’re revealing where to dock and dine across the U.S.

Stay tuned to discover some drool-worthy dock and dine restaurants near you!

The Best Places to Dock and Dine

Want to take your boat to dinner but aren’t exactly sure where to start? Below is a list of some of the best dock and dine restaurants in the country:

1. The Cannery in Newport Beach, California

This historic building first opened in the 1920s as a fish cannery. Since then, The Cannery has transformed into an elegant on-the-water dining experience offering creative cocktails, filet mignon, and a variety of seafood.

We recommend pulling up and docking for weekend brunch. Or you can explore the family-owned, downstairs speakeasy called Snug Bug.

2. Monty’s Raw Bar in Miami, Florida

Looking for a classic dock and dine experience?

Monty’s Raw Bar in Coconut Grove can’t be beaten. This tiki-themed restaurant hosts the perfect environment for authentic bites and refreshing cocktails. From conch fritters to coconut shrimp to Baja fish tacos, this dock and dine joint takes seaside dining to a whole other level.

3. The Wharf in Washington, D.C.

The Wharf is hands down one of Washington D.C.’s most iconic dining locations. This expansive waterfront restaurant boasts a wide variety of fine dining, casual bite, and take-out options. Have a variety of palates on board? We’re confident there will be something scrumptious for everybody.

4. Barking Crab in Boston, Massachusetts

Dock-and-dine restaurants are hard to come by in Boston. Of course, the Barking Crab is a delicious exception.

Tucked away on the Fort Point Channel in South Boston, this popular seafood shack features open-air and indoor dining options that are both boatloads of fun. It has an extensive menu that includes all your fresh seafood favorites. However, be warned that dock space is limited, and you’ll likely have to reserve your spot ahead of time.

5. Moonrakers in Beaufort, North Carolina

This three-story restaurant is located in Beaufort’s historic district. Moonrakers celebrates local Carolina cuisine with a wide variety of seafood dishes, such as shrimp and grits and cornmeal-crusted oysters.

Wondering why we love it? Well, diners enjoy breathtaking views of the islands making up the Rachel Carson Reserve while simultaneously sipping on nautical-inspired cocktails. After dinner, we recommend heading to the stringlit rooftop bar for a nightcap.

6. Kiki’s Sandbar Bar & Grille in The Florida Keys

Located on Little Torch Key, Kiki’s Sandbar Bar & Grille has an extra-long pier with plenty of dockage to go around. For that reason, this spot is an ideal Keys beach bar. Guests are welcome to enjoy the local seafood favorites from both indoor and outdoor seating options.

7. Tide’s Tavern in Gig Harbor, Washington

On the hunt for tavern-style comfort food that you can access via boat? Tide’s Tavern is the spot for you.

on an enterprise level where he played a crucial leadership role helping Brunswick’s global manufacturing facilities navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I also want to thank Chris Drees for his leadership and many contributions over his 24 years at Mercury and Brunswick,” said Foulkes. “Chris led Mercury through a number of significant milestones during his career and has been an outstanding partner during my time as CEO. On behalf of Mercury and Brunswick, I wish Chris and his family the very best in their future endeavors.”

Located on the shores of the downtown harbor, this dock and dine restaurant has some of the best water views in the region. Its no-fuss atmosphere is a massive draw for boaters, and the friendly staff will make anyone feel at home. And while there is plenty of local seafood on the menu, Tide’s is also a renowned burger joint that carnivores will love.

8. Alley Cat Oyster Bar in Cleveland, Ohio

This contemporary restaurant offers breathtaking views of the Cuyahoga River, which are enjoyed from its open-air dining area. However, Alley Cat Oyster Bar’s cuisine is still its biggest draw. The menu is jampacked with plenty of oysters, mussels, clams, lobster, and fresh fish to go around.

Captain’sCorner

Southwest Coast West Central Florida with Captain Dylan Hubbard

INSHORE REPORT

Right now, the sheepshead bite is going well in shore we’re seeing a lot of sheepsheads around our docks Piers bridges and jetties. The sheepshead are super active biting small pieces of shrimp, clams, oysters, barnacles, and even fiddler crabs. Barnacles are a great option for those sheepsheads especially if you it to a dock early and scrape some barnacles off the pilings you can get those sheepsheads chummed up and feed and actively before you drop down a Barnacle in front of them. Light tackle and minimum weight is a great option when targeting those sheepshead typically we target them similarly to how we would target hog fish near shore. Except for those sheep’s that are even a little leader shy and can be a little bit finicky especially if you can see them and they can see you.

Trout action is going well in the Back Bay area especially in areas of shallower grass flats especially the edges potholes are cuts you can find those trout stacked up and ready to ambush passing crustaceans soft plastics are so moving lures. Trout are typically in small groups so when you find one feeding trout typically there’s going to be closer by as well. Trout have a softer mouth, so you must use a little slower action rod with a little softer tip when targeting those trout slow moving soft plastics are a great option, but live shrimp free lined out there on the flats has been working well too. We’re seeing some of those trout around our dock lights and bridge lights at night as well but this time of year when the water is cooler, the action is during the day on the flats whereas the summertime those dock lights and bridge lights become more common for bigger concentrations of the speckled trout.

Snook action is going well on the Back Bay waters especially on these little warming periods we see a lot of those snook really get active and pour out of the Back Bay waters where we see them really get tucked up in the creek’s rivers and bayous when that water temperature drops, and the cold fronts are around. This weekend’s cold front should push some of those snook back to the creek’s rivers and bayous but it’s not a very strong front and won’t last very long so it really won’t have a huge impact on the movements of the snook. Behind that front this upcoming work week and through the upcoming weekend we see a big warming trend and that big warming trend if it holds true and no cold fronts interrupt after this weekend we should see those snooks start to pull out of the creeks rivers and bayous and pretty good numbers and concentrations as they have been and they start to get more into that springtime pattern perhaps as we move into the coming week and weekend.

A lot of those Schooley sized snook are active around our mangrove shorelines residential dock lines and canals as you move from the upper Bay and Back Bay waters out closer towards

the passes. Snook candy finicky especially when you see those snook up on the surface they can be real leaders shy spooky and slow to feed but if you’re using the right size tackle and the right approach sometimes you can trick them into feeding or just wait for the right time around those solunar major or minor tides.

Redfish action is going well as well through the area mostly on our residential dock lines is kind of the hotspot for the redfish right now. However, as waters continue to warm those red fish will pull out of the canals and off the dock lines and spread out more along our mangrove shorelines grass flats and local area oyster bars. Redfish are really keyed into those crustaceans when the water temperatures are cool but as it warms up and more bait appears this spring, we’ll see more of those redfish start switching over to that white bait bite. As we move into spring it gets a little bit trickier because they get more keyed into those smaller white baits and the fry baits in it can be a little bit more of a tricky approach as those fish are looking for smaller baits.

Black drum are really schooled up right now we’re seeing a lot of black drum and big numbers and big concentrations around some local area bridges. We’re also seeing those schools move through our passes and along our beaches too. Black drum can be a little tricky to spot unless you’re watching your bottom machine and know what you’re looking for. Or find a hotbed around certain area bridges like the Terra Verde bridge the Gandy bridge, dick Meisner bridge and other area bridges that are known to concentrate those black drum. Black drum love large live shrimp or dead shrimp on the bottom and even cut crabs they’re more focused on those crustaceans right on or just above the bottom. However, you can sometimes get them fooled into biting those slowmoving soft plastics that are right on or just above the bottom as well.

Out on the beaches we’re seeing a lot of those silver trout and Whiting right now silver trout and Whiting are active along our beaches this time of year. When the water calms down and clears up and we get those pockets of cleaner clearer water the Pompano tend to be active as well. Fishing around the surf with live shrimp on the bottom you’ve got a good option for the Whiting and silver trout while the water is cooler as it warms up the silver trout will disappear, but the whitening will persist through the summertime.

NEARSHORE REPORT

Hogfish action is going really well in nearshore right now we’re seeing those hogfish really active on our fivehour half day 10 hour all day and nearshore

private fishing charters we typically catch a majority of our hogfish using live shrimp on three different rig setups either

the knocker rig, the naked ball jigs, or those banana jigs that we carry in our shop. Hogfish are mostly hanging around about 30 to 70 foot of water in the best public trip to target them would be a 10 hour all day but a private charter gives you plenty of time and really a plenty of availability to really dial in on those hogfish even more so a private charter would be the best way but a 10 hour would be second best if you don’t have the private charter budget. If you got your own boat focus around 30 to 70 foot of water lower relief smaller relief areas of flat hard bottom or even shell using live shrimp and lighter tackle with minimal weight to target those hogfish. Remember hogfish bite best in the cooler months and we see them most often around anywhere from October through about April into may depending on weather.

Lane snapper action is going really well around the area we’re seeing lane snapper about anywhere from 50 to about 100 feet of water but the bigger the lane snapper the deeper we go typically. Lane snapper really like live shrimp, but they’ll bite virtually anything from the cut squid to the thread fins in everything in between.

Mangrove snapper action is going pretty good near shore mostly in the deepest near shore waters is the best area to find the mangrove snapper on cut thread fins small chunks of thread fins with double snow rigs are great option to target those mangrove snappers. But we also see a lot of the mangroves while targeting the hogfish using live shrimp on a recent 10 hour all day yesterday, we caught over 50 keeper mangrove snappers while targeting hogfish and smashing plentiful lanes.

OFFSHORE REPORT

Offshore the weather has been treacherous lately making it difficult to make it offshore with any consistency but when we do make it offshore the red grouper bite has been super good to us. We’re seeing a lot of those nice red grouper offshore right now up to about 120 foot of water we’re seeing a couple of the scamp grouper some big mangrove snapper, solid Vermillion, porgies, almacos and much more great opportunity to make it offshore if the weather will allow and every opportunity, we get to make it out there the fishing has been pretty good to us. We’re hoping the weather will start laying down we start getting into that time of year where the cold fronts relent a bit then we just have to worry about the wind.

So very focused in the coming month on the red grouper mangroves Vermilion ANS scamp and other bottom fish but you have a chance for those blackfin tuna this time of year maybe a wahoo in those early season kingfish won’t be far away either.

DISCOVERY CANVAS

Captain’sCorner

Southeast Coast with Captain Dean Panos

I Can’t Believe It!

Can’t believe we are already in midFebruary. Winter and spring are my favorite times of year to fish in South Florida. Winter is my favorite season for sailfish and it’s almost half gone already. There is nothing like waking up in the morning, the day after a cold front arrives and there is a brisk North wind blowing. The whole ride to the marina I’m hoping there is north current and blue water to go along with the North wind. Even after 30 years of chasing sailfish around I still get excited about a good day of kite fishing for sailfish. We have been lucky to get quite a few cold fronts this year. Sometimes there has been blue water and N current to go along with the fronts and sometimes there hasn’t. Even with that, I can honestly say this has been the best January for sailfish that we have had in at least the past 5 years. We have caught 5 times more sailfish this January than last January. We still haven’t broken double digits though this year. Our best was 9 sailfish releases in one day but in that

week alone we caught 30 sailfish in 5 trips. That’s pretty good and consistent.

Besides sailfish, there have been a handful of other species caught. We had an epic month for big blackfin tunas. That has slowed down a little bit, but it’s not uncommon to still catch one or two big blackfins. Our best catch this past week was a decent size wahoo. The wahoo ate a kite bait and as everyone knows, wahoo’s teeth are like razors. We hooked the fish on a fluorocarbon leader without a wire trace. We got so lucky that the circle hook was placed perfectly in the jaw. The customer did a great job of staying tight and we were able to get her onboard. It’s one thing to catch wahoo high speed trolling, but when you hook one on light tackle 20 lb. gear, it is truly amazing. These fish swim so fast and change directions instantly. It’s like they are not even hooked. Although we have caught plenty of wahoo throughout the years, each one is still awesome.

with Captain Chris Johnson

The month of March, and sometimes even into April, can be the windiest time of year in the Florida Keys. If you want quality fishing, go with an open mind and listen to your captain’s recommendations for what your best target species is.

Both the Atlantic and the Gulf waters have quality fisheries happening but, again, the wind will dictate which direction you can go.

We have many Current, Non-Current, Demo and Scratch n’ Dent Motors available. Full 5 Year Manufacturer’ Non-Declining Warranty on ALL!!! Call Northeast Marine at 727-327-7341 today to check out our current available inventory. Financing available!!!

In the Atlantic waters, we have plenty of pelagics, including blackfin tuna, kingfish and some big cobia. But the star attraction is the abundance of sailfish. March and April will be prime time to target sails, but take your iron stomach with you because conditions can be quite sporty.

In the Gulf and Florida Bay venues, we’ve seen some of the best fishing in ten years, with loads of Florida pompano, cobia and large kings. Goliath groupers and sharks keep the game interesting.

On the deep side of the reef in 150 to 250 feet of water, there are good numbers of blackfin tuna in the 10- to 20-pound class plus king mackerel and a more common occurrence of dolphin as well as sailfish. Live baits are key with live pilchards providing the most consistent action. Live ballyhoo, if you can find them, also work well. Cigar minnows and sardines will also put fish in the box.

Moving inshore to the wrecks, March

is typically very good for mutton snappers, kingfish and very large amberjacks.

The amberjacks are beginning their spawn this month, and it’s now that we catch some of the biggest ones of the year. Fish in the 60- to 80-pound class are not unusual, with plenty of 20- to 40-pounders to wear you out.

The best baits to attract the attention of the AJs are bluerunners, grunts and large pilchards. Jigging also produces excellent results.

For the muttons and kings, live pinfish, pilchards or ballyhoo all work, fished down near the bottom.

On the reef, the yellowtail action picks up tempo at this point in the spring. With the warming waters, the fish become more active and need to feed more, which makes it a bit easier to coerce them into taking your bait. Using plenty of chum is important. SnapperUp or Mojo Oats will bring them in right behind your boat.

All you need for successful yellowtail catching are 15-lb fluoro leaders and small hooks, such as the Owner #4 Mutu Light hooks we use.

The reef edge will have good numbers of king and cero mackerel. And, of course, plenty of grouper that must be released as the season is closed until

One fishery I was not able to get in on this past month was swordfishing, and that was as shame as there were finally some big swordfish being caught. Biggest I heard was 429 pounds and a few others in the low 400’s as well. Even a big bluefin tuna was caught while deep dropping for swordfish. Hopefully when we get out there again, the big girls will still be around.

With February half done, it is really the time to book your winter sailfish trips. Let’s go out there and see what we can catch and hopefully find that blue water and current right after a cold front and rack up

Marathon/Florida Keys

May 1.

In Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, there are loads of cobia, large king mackerel, Spanish mackerel and mangrove snappers. Pinfish is the go-to bait for all but the kings, which love small bluerunners fished either under a balloon or, preferably, hanging from a kite. We use #7 wire, as these kings are quite large and can bite through smaller wire. For everything else in the bay and gulf, it’s all about pinfish on a jighead.

You’ll most likely catch some Goliath grouper. Be sure to release them quickly and unharmed as they are protected.

March is a good time of year to target sharks around the flats and banks. It’s primarily blacktips, spinners, bulls and a few hammerheads to start but, as we get toward the end of the month and the waters warm up, we begin to see more lemons.

Any kind of fresh dead bait or live bait works, such as jacks, bluerunners, ladyfish and the like. Be sure to use circle hooks. We always use Owner 9/0 SSW circles for fishing for all shark species, with #7 to #8 wire and 20-lb class tackle rounding out your setup.

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2022 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol. com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps. org.

FLY FISHING SCHOOL- SARASOTA - Capt. Rick Grassett will be the instructor for CB’s Saltwater Outfitters Orvis-Endorsed fly fishing school on Mar 18, 2023.

BOAT AMERICA CLASSES – CLEARWATER, FLORIDA COAST GUARD AUXILIARY - 2023

- The Coast Guard urges recreational boaters, paddlers, anglers, and others to remain safe on the water by taking a Safe Boating Course. A safe boating class can teach about local boating, the value of wearing a life jacket, and several other life-saving lessons. A boating safety course will teach the basic skills to operate a vessel safely. It includes the diverse types of boats, their capabilities, and how to choose the right boat for a particular maritime activity. Class members will also learn about various safety equipment and how to use them to avoid accidents. Before heading out onto the open water, it’s crucial to know how to read the weather since Florida is known for its sudden changes from lovely calm seas and winds to thunderstorms, torrential rains, and waterspouts. In the boating safety class, students learn methods for staying safe in any condition, including heavy winds, fog, and severe storms. Boating can be an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with family and friends. But it’s essential to be aware of the potential dangers. A class will help the boater avoid being a statistic. It teaches how to handle a boat safely and what to do in an emergency. Finally, taking a boating safety course is a wonderful way to learn the rules and regulations, especially those unique to Florida. Novice and experienced boaters or even non-boaters can benefit from a safe boating course – as an initial learning experience or as a refresher. Regardless of experience level, taking a class is always a good idea. To continue offering these classes safely for the students and instructors, they are being offered on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. Because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! Classes are $50 per student and include books, supplemental materials, and course completion certificates. The next classes begin in January and continue monthly. The whole class schedule and registration are at: www.clwboatingsafety.com/boaterclass-registration. Contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Clearwater Flotilla, for boating safety classes at: www.clwboatingsafety.com or by email at clwtr.auxboating@gmail.com or call 727-469-8895.
