Boating Safety Course & Vessel Safety Check

A Boating Safety Course will be held on April 27 and again on May 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Train Station in Altavista. The course is taught by U.S. Coast Guard Auxillary Flotilla 85 as a courtesy. There is no charge for the course. All required materials will be provided.

Registration is required. Each course is limited to 40 people on a first-come, first-served basis. To register online go to my.register-ed.com. It looks involved but it’s quite easy. Click on “Menu” and select “Virginia.” Then click on “Virginia,” on “Boating Safety Education Classroom Course,” and then on “View Upcoming Events.” At the bottom of that page and the next several pages, click on “Next” until you come to April 27 (screen page 7) or May 4 and the words, “Altavista Train Station.” Then click on “View Event” to read about the course, view a map to locate the Train Station, and read the “2013 Watercraft Owners Guide” by clicking on its title under “Related Files.” Finally, at the top or bottom of the page click on “Register Now.” Or register by telephone at toll free number 888-516-0844.

Bring a sack lunch and a drink. There will be no break for lunch. Those who successfully complete this course will receive the Virginia Boater Education Card showing that they meet the state requirement to have passed a boating safety course.

Also, courtesy Vessel Safety Checks will be available to those who trailer their boat to either class. Park in the lot near the picnic shelter. Do not park in front of the Train Station.
