    We are certainly glad that we could help. Good luck with the repairs. The crew is aware of your appreciation and it sounds like they did a good job.

    Yes, you have to carry it with you, much like your drivers license when driving a car. I believe the intent of the law is to ensure that everyone receives some sort of formal instruction before operating a watercraft but they didn't make it retro-active so us older folks were grandfathered in.
    It is a civil infraction (as opposed to a misdemeanor) if you are ticketed for operating without one when it is required.
    As far as renting a watercraft, the business is supposed to give you some formal instruction before allowing you to operate. I'm sure it is a crash-course (no pun intended) but it is allowed by law to operate without a certificate with a signed rental agreement from a boat livery.

    I think it has been covered pretty well, but you must obtain and carry your Boater Safety certificate if:

    You are born after December 31, 1978 and you are operating a personal watercraft
    or
    You are born after July 31, 1996 and you are operating a boat.

    The rest of us are exempt.

    If you obtained your certificate but lost it and want to replace it, you can call (517)373-3292.

    Sleeper, I understand what you mean and it has led to some stimulating conversations here at our boathouse. I can assure everyone that we welcome the input.

    Also, to all of our supporters, thank you!

    As far as MSP, we've never seen them out here but I suppose its possible.

    What's RCMP? Is the DNR out full time?


    Sorry. RCMP is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. OPP is the Ontario Provincial Police.
    I forgot about our friends from the Department of Natural Resources. The Conservation Officers do have a boat in the water but are not out full-time. You will occasionally see them on our boats as well. You will also see Border Patrol riding along on our patrols.
