As I mentioned  yesterday, one of the items on the to-do list re: staying motivated is to work towards getting my boating operator’s license.  Toward that end, I had a gander at the Boat Smart web page today www.boatsmartexam.com<\/a> At this site for the low price of $50ish, I can access the course material, practise exams and well as take the exam.  Don’t worry, I’m not trying to sell anything \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I read through the material for the first module:  Boating in Canada, which provides such key information as “what is a capacity plate”, “what legislation covers which illicit boating acts”, etc.  There is a practise quiz at the end of the unit.  I had to go back to the material to look up some of the answers (not a good sign).  Also, I couldn’t find the answer key, so I just have to hope that my answers were correct.  I did re-read the appropriate sections when I was in doubt.<\/p>\n

After my first exposure, I suspect this undertaking may take longer than I had initially thought (ie. longer than 2 hours).  I have seven more modules to review – likely more than once to make sure the info. sticks. <\/p>\n

I can take the exam on-line which is good, however I need to ask some sucker<\/span> nice person to sign up as my supervisor to watch me and verify that I’m not cheating.  That’ll give me some added pressure to pass the first time.  I need to get 75% to pass.<\/p>\n

I’ll keep you posted as to how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
