Are you a boater or jet-skier? Would you like to be?

The Coast Guard Auxiliary is hosting “America Boats Safely” (ABS) to help you make your boating experience safe as well as fun. Topics include: Nautical Terminology, Legal Requirements, Boating Emergencies, Towing, Basic Navigation, Safety Equipment, and much more.

If you were born after December 31, 1988, this course meets your DNR requirements for licensing.

ABS is offered over three consecutive Thursday evenings from 6:00 pm to 8:45 pm, beginning on Feb. 9 at Gander Mountain (6802 – 118th Avenue, Kenosha). Cost is $30 for the first family member, and $20 for each additional family member.

To sign up or for questions, contact Tim Caufield at (262) 492-6497.
