I'm looking for other Coast Guard Auxiliary, and Maryland DNR boating-safety instructors to participate as forum information leaders (moderators) in this forum.

If you have local knowledge and are an experienced instructor or are working toward becoming one please contact me, Doug Smith with your name, email, and telephone number. fso-cs at drumpoint.org I would also encourage anyone with a commercial Captain's license, former Coast Guard, or Navy etc. to contact me if you believe you have the knowledge skills and ability to teach the difference between the right way and the wrong way and have a strong command of the rules of the road.

The audience at SOMD.COM is large and sophisticated. It is well worth my time and yours to discuss boating safety here so that we can help boaters make personal safety choices that prevent death and injury on Maryland waters.

SOMD.COM has provided the forum for us. Together we can make it work.
