As every boater knows, obtaining local knowledge is an important part of a safe and enjoyable boating experience. In this educational seminar, taught by certified US Coast Guard Auxiliary instructors, you will receive detailed information about the Neuse River and adjoining waters. While the major focus is on the Neuse and Trent rivers, you will learn the locations and features of many popular anchorages, marinas, and boatyards in the Neuse and Pamlico River basins, as well as the ICW to Morehead City/Beaufort and on to Cape Lookout.

Cost is $10 (additional household members are free) which includes a CD packed with useful information.
