    Re: A Navlist member is getting an award

    This has some relivance to navigation as it relates to USPS courses and some of you guys, based on this posting, obvously, have knowledge of those courses. 

    I have posted 3280 messages here since 2004 but I have never taken a USPS course and I am now thinking about taking one, for two reasons. 

    1. I have read that European countries are now requiring some type of license or training certification (I don't know exactly what kind) in order to charter boats there. I have charted many times in the Caribbean, six times in Tahiti (the last time in 2015) and one time, in 2001, at Majorca in the Med. I have never had any problem getting a boat in the past but if I now want to go back to the Med or the Adriatic I might have a problem. Any advice on what course, or courses, I should take to deal with this situation?

    2. I am looking to find a new wife and a friend recommended taking a USPS course where I could meet "Wharf Widows," women who's husbands owned boats and then died or got divorced leaving the woman with a boat that she doesn't know how to operate, so now, these women (with boats) take USPS courses. Have you found this to be true or is my friend stringing me along? Does this seem like a good idea?

    Congratulations to Navlist member Lu Abel.  He has won this year's United States Power Squadrons Charles F. Chapman Award for Excellence in Teaching.  This is considered the most prestigious award given by USPS.
    From the USPS web site:
    "The Charles F. Chapman Award for Excellence in Teaching recognizes outstanding USPS instructors. Once a year, each squadron nominates one outstanding instructor to its district. The District Educational Officer forms a committee to select one nominee within their district for national judging. In the final judging, the Chapman Award Selection Group of the Instructor Development Committee recognizes the three winners who represent the organization's most effective volunteer instructors."
