I’m not sure if the picture will come through but hope it does. I’m just writing to thank you for doing the safety class yesterday.
Being new to boating and definitely new to the process of learning all I need to know in order to responsibly enjoy my beloved new thrill, I am so grateful to you for the time you donate to the cause of safe boating. Both of you do such a good thing and for me you’ve given me a bit more confidence that I can do this the right way. Hope to be in some of your other classes. Huge thanks…Cheryl
