Re: Captain's License vs ASA 105 course

Yes, you related an actual experience. But it was on a work boat, not a pleasure boat. And you were the captain of the boat. I understand it was a no license required work boat.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 (Android 9) Unusable Slow

Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 (Android 9) Unusable Slow
