Boating Course to be offered in Bridgewater

When: Monday nights, 7:00 - 9:30 pm
October 18 to December 13, 2010, and January 10 to January 31 or Feb. 7, 2011 (13-14 classes)
 
The “Boating Course” goes far beyond the knowledge needed to pass the mandatory “Pleasure Craft Operator Card” (PCOC) exam.  Living on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean as we do, it is very important to know somthing about navigation, tides, tidal currents and the broad range of boating related topics that will be covered in this Boating Course.
 
If you do not already have a PCOC, the PCOC exam is included as part of the course.

Further details will be posted here shortly, and sent to members and subscribers in our e-mail newsletter.

Bluenose Squadron Survey

Leigh Murdoch, our former Training Officer, has taken the initiative to get our Squadron active again. You are encouraged to contact Leigh at lmurdoch -at- xcountry.tv (replace "-at-" with "@") to express your interest in organizing, or participating in, courses and activities.

We have a long and valiant history of providing education on safe boating, and some of the best sailing grounds in the country!

Our Area

The Bluenose Squadron serves the legendary South Western Shore of Nova Scotia from St. Margaret's Bay to Liverpool and beyond. We also serve the Annapolis Valley. Our members cruise the fabulous waters of St. Margaret's Bay, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg Bay, La Have River area, Liverpool and points west. A few intrepid Valley sailors brave the tides and currents of the Minas Basin and the Bay of Fundy, while most bring their boats to the South Shore.

We proudly take our name from the Lunenburg schooner Bluenose, the famous racing and fishing schooner whose namesake, Bluenose II, built from the same design, still sails out of her home port of Lunenburg.
