Captain Charlie Explains It All

Some of us may have preferred Captain Bub, but you have to hand it to Captain Charlie: He knows his boating. At Captain Charlie's Boating Basics site, you can take a pretty thorough beginner's course in boating safety and techniques without ever leaving the privacy of your home. Topics are organized by keyword, and cover such basic issues as anchoring, deploying flares, using buoys, and estimating distances at sea. There's also an extensive safety section covering various types of powered and unpowered pleasure craft, as well as canoes, kayaks, and rowboats. Kudos to Captain Charlie, whoever he is, for putting so much useful information in one place.
