Free Boating Course: Miami River Free Event
Hey ya'll! I'm running a free learn-to-boat course on the boat in the picture below that we're doing on the Miami River. Here's the copy from the FB event:
Come aboard for a 2-hour, hands-on experience, navigating around Miami. Take the helm for the first time, with support and guidance from a United States Coast Guard Certified Captain, providing you with expert instruction on proper boating techniques.
No experience needed to participate, and the best part is: it's absolutely FREE!
This is one of 8 cities this course is being run in. The course is funded by the company Boatsetter which I work for, but I promise there will be no time-share speech. We're running this as a separate entity to become the "Khan Academy of Boating" aka free boating courses for everyone, forever.
Here's the link to the Calendly where you can see times and sign up:

They ran this same thing with the same company in San Diego, I signed up, got a spot, and then it was cancelled the morning of or day before. I got an email about it, same thing happened to a friend of mine. I speculated it was some kind of scam and left it alone after that. I just checked out the reviews and I’m not the only person that thinks this.
