    Howdy,
    A location hasn't been picked yet. Perhaps you can suggest a location or locations?

    I am a retired assistance towing contractor, a licensed master of 25 years with about ten thousand operating hours, most of that in San Juan County.

    Three topics will be covered:

    Safe towing with small boats. How to keep out of trouble.

    A look at Admiralty Law and marine salvage. Start off with ancient law, English Law, American Law and the Blackwall. A look at SALCON89 and it's implications to recreational boaters.

    I'll clear up a lot of misconceptions on the subject of marine salvage, your rights and obligations every time you leave the dock. I'll talk about my 1983 lawsuit Binden v. Jones, a Federal Court case.

    Lastly I'll talk about small boat handling in rough weather. Planning ,timing, tides and currents, cross seas, most everything you need to know to get in on a bad day.

    I'll also talk about our 1960 Cape Scott adventure in a 14 foot Sabrecraft.
    To refresh your memory, Cape Scott is on the north end of Vancouver Island.

    I'll have handouts and links for those wanting to know more. You'll come away with some good basic knowledge of the laws that govern the water- ways so that you don't have to learn this stuff the hard way.

    Not to be missed, will see you there...

      Tim, your story above brought back some good memories. Reminded me of a song from the fifties, Hot Rod Lincoln.
