[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 441965, member: 21536"] California is going to implement a boater’s operator card. It will start January 2018 with anyone 20 years or younger then ratchet up in 5 year increments each January after that. I won’t have to worry until 2025 (sheesh). The required course itself appears to be fairly easy and can be completed in one session. Kind of like the on-line defensive driving courses required when someone gets a ticket. There are plenty of knuckleheads out there and that is not going to change. But there are also a lot of new boat owners that just don’t know any better. I personally think requiring this boat operator card is a good thing, except that it doesn’t apply to boat rentals, nor does it apply to folks from out of state. There are other exceptions. I’m pretty sure the recreational boating industry was well represented when this was being drafted. I'm not a big fan of unnecessary reg's, but making people prove they did a little homework is better than what we have now, which is nothing. PS: I always understood the “returning” part of red right returning to mean returning from the sea. [/QUOTE]
