huh?!?!

I’m guessing he means Super Mario’s son, Governor Andrew Cuomo

Here we go, I'll get the popcorn. I could see an online safety course, but to get EVERY boat operator to sit through an all day course. Really?

I would be okay with a mandatory boating course. There are a lot of people that buy a boat with no experience and things can go wrong in a hurry. Too many people are oblivious to things like speed restrictions, acceptable distances, and the effect of your wake.

Well then, no exceptions. Every pedal boat, sail, kayak, etc....

Rugburn, Its the norm down here in RI and I am glad for it. We have ponds, lakes, rivers and the bay and oceanfront and I still do not know how half of these people passed the test.

Was wondering about the rest of it.

I like the idea of an online course.

Tubes? What about paddle boards? 

I am thinking boats with actual engines that make wakes and kill people when they get run over.

The problem is, regardless of training, those who don't appreciate the power of boats, or even the outdoors, will still act reckless with or without training. Doesn't seem like a cause worth undertaking in my opinion

[Rugburn]

People can die in a simple canoe ride, even passengers not paddling. Where do we draw a line, just motors? I've been on a Charter boat where a certified Captain had no right to that title, darn near killed us. All the training in the world can't fix some things.
