WELCOME TO PBA!
Boating Education For All Saturday March 13th 2010 The Pennsylvania Boating Association (PBA) believes that boating education is necessary for all boaters regardless of when they were born. All boaters should take an approved boating-safety education course, so you can learn something new, be updated on current boating laws and obtain a boating certificate blue card. A course will be given by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (FB&C) instructors at the Delaware River Yacht Club. This will be an all day course 8:30 AM. to 4:30 PM. the cost is $20.00 for a continental breakfast & lunch. At the completion of the curriculum you will be tested. You will send your approved test to the FB&C with a check for $10.00 and your boating certificate blue card will be sent to you. The card is good for a lifetime. Make your reservation and send your $20.00 check for food & beverage by February 27 2010 to the Delaware River Yacht Club, Pennsylvania Boating Association, South East Chapter (PBASE) In 2010 *five general membership meeting are scheduled to be held in: 1. January at the Wissinoming YC,
2. March at the Pennsylvania Yacht Club,
3. May at the West End Boat Club,
4. September at the, Anchor Yacht Club,
5. November at the Delaware River Yacht Club.
*The exact day of the meeting will be announced at a DRYL meeting 30 days prior to the actual date.To clear up a recent confusion about the licensing requirement for operating in our neighbor State, New Jersey....Dan Martin from the PA Fish and Boat Comission has stated that after discussing the matter with the State of New Jersey, a PA resident without a classroom education license will not be cited for lack of the licensing requirement in New Jersey. In other words, any PA resident with only the internet educational license is in compliance with the New Jersey Licensing requirement. To tell what type of license you have look at your license type and a -P means classroom. The PBA makes no claim to the truthfulness of this statement. Any questions, please contact Dan Martin directly fro the PA Fish and Boat Comission website.
