This is it! Our first Give the Gift of Cruising Giveaway and I’m so excited I could almost fart! Almost … Congratulations to Lance and Shelly Hopson, winners of our first Gift of Cruising: Pam Wall Cruising Consultant’s “Find Your Boat” Package! I have unleashed Pam on Lance and Shelly and will be providing an update soon on their boat-shopping journey! And a big thanks to Lance and Shelly for being such good sports about their video contribution. (You’re going to die laughing!) Enjoy!
I am super pumped now about giving my next gift. Get inspired, get on board and let me know in the comments below what you think it should be!
I’ll pick a new gift soon and put it up on the website so you all can watch the new countdown. THANK YOU to all who supported this awesome cause. Plenty more gifts to come!
It doesn’t cost anything except membership, but joining your local U.S. Sail & Power Squadron to take of course the basic safe boating course but in addition the other membership courses to learn how to cruise safely is a definite plus.
I joined to mainly take the celestial navigation course but ended up with the courses about cruising such as Engines, GPS, Coastal & Off-shore Piloting, Weather, Radios, Radar, among the many available.
As you can see I’m a big advocate- all came in handy in my cruising the Keys and Bahamas – so much so I was my Punta Gorda Squadron’s Education officer!

Hey Jack. Thanks so much for this. I agree! I’m leaning toward giving away sailing lessons for sure!!
