October 2017 Newsletter: Get your license

Noticing the number of jet skiers that docked their vessel upon the Sheriff’s arrival last summer, we would like to remind all personal watercraft (jet skis) operators that they must be at least 14 yrs of age and hold a valid NYS Boating Certificate.

At this time there are plans that Peter Herman/Mohawk-Hudson Sail and Power Squadron will again be offering a class in the spring for this lifetime certificate. There will be an announcement in our spring newsletter. You can also get your certification online by taking a course that is approved by New York State Parks Service and the US Coast Guard. BLIA does not endorse this course, we just inform.
