Summary
Wintertime is traditionally a time for training. In much of the United States the boats have been pulled from the water, and while maintenance projects are on-going, Sea Scouts work on sharpening skills for the next boating season. In some parts of the country they gather to hold "Winter Training Weekends". Skills taught include: marlinspike seamanship, navigation, galley, drill, semaphore, engines, ground tackle, safety drills, ornamental ropework, rules of the road, boat maintenance, weather, electricity, celestial navigation, first aid, and leadership training.
Coast Guard Auxiliarists have participated as instructors at a number of these events. This is an excellent opportunity to teach the upcoming next generation of boaters and their leaders, while introducing the Sea Scouts to the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
