Your wife thinks you’re completely insane, but to get a sense of the action you’ve filled the plant-mist-er with salt water, setup fans around your computer, and brought the broken, wobbly chair in from the garage. Your wife’s mental diagnosis aside, you feel pretty confident that you’re ready to take your online boating safety course to get your boating license while getting the essence of the seabourn experience.
Advantages of Online Boating Courses
As any seasoned salt will tell you, boating is as much about knowledge as it is about experience. As such, learning the fundamental knowledge that is required to safely navigate on the water makes online boating courses an excellent option for learning the essential details of boating safety.
Captaining a boat involves a myriad of skills and informational data points that can certainly be overwhelming, and an online format affords the opportunity to absorb that information at a pace that ensures that your studies fit into your already hectic schedule.
That said, boating is a hand-on activity and nothing ensures that everyone who boards the boat in the morning gets off safely in the afternoon. As such, nothing takes the place of quality time at the helm of a boat to fully practice and hone the knowledge that your online course provides.
Advantages of Hands-On Experience
Although you’re unlikely to admit to your wife, the salt-infused mist-er, wobbly chair, and the off-shore fans blowing from on top of the television set just isn’t cutting it in terms of delivering a realistic onboard experience.
Gaining your sea legs requires getting your legs out onto the sea, and that means getting on a boat. Therefore, after getting your boating license you need to make sure that the skills you learned in practice online are polished onboard under real life conditions.
