Let’s be real: the state boating course is a joke! I know it's a bold statement, but when you really dive deep into what it takes to operate a boat safely, competently, and, most importantly, with confidence, it merely lays the foundations and doesn't serve as an entrance exam. Although I don’t disagree with having some sort of course in place to legally operate a boat, it seems silly that you need to take a hands-on course to drive a car, yet for boating, it's just a few multiple-choice questions.
