Meet Your New Captain
On November 14, I completed the final step to achieving the OUPV 6 Pack Captain’s License.
The course involved 56 hours of class room lecture and hands on plotting exercises.
To ensure you are competent in the course materials, you must pass exams in Navigational Rules, navigation safety, deck safety, deck general and complete an intense plotting exam.
In addition to being physically fit, you need security clearance from the Homeland Security and character references.
Very involved certification process, but worth every part. A dream come true.
