Seattle Boat Show is always a big hit. As part of our educational series we always present at Boat Show University during the event. Many of the Skagit Valley College instructors will share their knowledge with the Pacific Northwest boating enthusiasts. Nigel Calder really enjoys this area, our SVC staff and will often make the trip across the country to present as well. This year Michael Beemer decided to mix it up a bit and do a new presentation sharing many great stories, tips, and destinations he and Nigel have enjoyed over the years to inspire boaters to get out and explore even more. Cruising areas included Lake Michigan, Spain, Scotland, the Bahamas, Gulf of Mexico, and more.

It's a long video, but sit back and let it run - we tried to keep it a little entertaining by tossing in some very embarrassing and knuckle-head things we've done over the years like almost sinking, running aground, stalling out our engines, having bead batteries, and much more. This was an all day presentation we cut down to just 4 hours of video.

As always, if you know somebody who would be a good fit in this industry and would like the technical training, Skagit Valley College has a place for them!
