In each of these e-Lessons, Doug walks you through the step-by-step procedure. Like an invisible driving instructor, he'll patiently whisper in your ear (no one in the marina will see him coaching you). Simply re-read the e-Lesson as many times as you require to confidently handle your vessel like a pro.

First Mate 101
First Mate 101 is filled with tips and tricks. Brenda Dawson describes in great detail, a long list of First Mate jobs with shortcuts in two major chapters-Interior Management and Exterior Management. The book is so much more than how to be a First Mate. Readers have suggested that after reading the book from cover to cover, they plan to keep "First Mate 101" aboard their boat for easy reference when a situation arises. Knowledge = Confidence = Enjoyment !
