Next week I will be honored to be presenting at the US Sailing and the Marine Trades Association of Maryland, the Safety-At-Sea Program that takes place at our United States Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland.
This will be the second year I am honored to be a speaker at this important event.
This is a two day program designed for Cruising and Racing sailors. The line up of speakers will present the information that goes along with keeping you and your crews safely at sea.
Below is more information and I highly recommend this to all who know the value of learning how to keep yourselves safe while at sea.
