| Long Range Coastal Cruises and Deliveries |

| This course will look at the resources available to plan for trips South to Florida (both coasts) and North to the Great Lakes. We will discuss how to use these tools as they apply to different situations such as boat size, draft, speed, fuel consumption, etc. We will review in detail the different route options available both to the North and South, evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of each. After the Group seminar, we will divide into smaller groups based on your particular interest. These will be led by experienced delivery captains. They will reflect on some of their experiences and how you can learn from them. One group will focus on the off-shore routes with their special requirements/considerations. Another group will discuss the "commercial" delivery requirements with and without the owner on board. A third group will look at the recreational opportunities of these trips. There will be time for open questions and opportunities for socializing and networking. |
