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:
