My first Charter was a couple of years ago out of Anacortes Washington. When I reserved the boat I had to send in a sailing resume and take a class the morning of our trip that showed us the charts we would need, any regulations that we needed to know about the area and the places to avoid. We then meet a fellow down at the boat who went over all of the systems and where emergency gear was located. I then had to pull the boat out of the slip, motor out of the harbor, make a few maneuvers and then bring it back to the slip and dock. It was a little nerve racking at first going from a 17' ODay Daysailer with no motor to a 28' Bristol Channel Cutter with an inboard engine, but after a day I was like an old pro.
