I know it has been posted in previous threads. I am kind of “search challenged”. Does anyone have a preferred go to site you did the course? I think I am a year late, but a new to me boat is coming and I want to spend some time in the delta this year. TIA

I did the free boat US course.
If you have been boating, it is all stuff you should know.
If you've boated the river all your life, very little of it is stuff you should know.

It’s an “open book” test. Use Google to help you answer questions that you don’t know.

You would think. But I doubt more than 20% of boaters know the navigation rules and protocols for engaging other boats on the water. Go out on a random summer weekend and it'll prove my point.

I guess so.
I grew up boating the chain of lakes in IL, and had to get a boating license at 12 to operate my grandparents boat in WI during the summers.

That's great. My kid was 13 when he received his Texas Boater's card.
