Mid-Coast Sail & Power Squadron instructors and class proctors enrich their teaching with "war stories," which are often tales of embarrassing goofs. High-profile tragedies offer vital lessons no matter how many years we've been boating.
The classroom is the best of all learning venues, where students and instructors both benefit from shared questions and experiences. However, the opportunities are there only if you take advantage of them. Thanks to the USPS® designed curriculum and the tireless efforts of Squadron members who volunteer their time and experiences in promulgating this educational quest, the Mid-Coast Sail & Power Squadron offers an array of excellent courses that are unparalleled in recreational boating. As a community service, the Squadron offers core level courses to the public; to those who have boats, are thinking about getting boats, or are just interested in boating. Many of these students subsequently seek Squadron membership which in turn provides them access to a vast array of USPS® advanced-grade and elective courses.
Santayana's dictum gives us a two-ingredient recipe for member involvement in USPS® and Mid-Coast Sail & Power Squadron education--to study as a student and to study and teach as an instructor or proctor. As many Squadron members have discovered, you can learn a lot from taking a course, but if you can teach it, it is yours forever!
