Our toughest certification skill...live night overboard practice. Do not sign up if you have not already done a day overboard practice. And only sign up if you intend to take kids out sailing in the dark...such as probation sails. Bring a light for your life vest and your dinner. Intense...and a lot of fun. People fall overboard at night, you know...this is a skill all should have.
