Congrats on passing the exam.

Not trying to put a damper on anything, but remember there's a lot more to seamanship than is required to pass the exam.

It wouldn't hurt to look at the Power Squadron courses that will probably be offered in your area in the fall and spring. The Power Squadron advantage is that they are taught by experienced boaters who are familiar with and from your local area. Great tips can be had.

Have a great summer with your new boat.
