Thanks again for the help.

In addition to the 'Lakes Region Sail & Power Squadron', check out New Hampshire Marine Patrol.

I strongly urge you to take your class in a classroom and avoid the temptation of doing any of the on-line courses, as some are not sanctioned (not valid) by the NH Marine Patrol -- more importantly you will learn much much more in the classroom than any on line course. What we need on Winnipesaukee is more educated boaters, and this being your first boating experience lets make it a safe one for you and everyone else.

Happy and safe boating.
