The "Speaking of Safety" seminar was developed by two professionals working in the maritime realm. Chris, a first responder working search and rescue on the water, recognized that many boaters lacked the training they needed to operate safely during everyday and emergency situations. John, a marine electronics installer, recognized that many boaters lacked confidence in their ability to use equipment on the boat that could simplify their lives on the water, or save them in the event of an emergency. Together they hope to address issues that have seriously impacted boater's well-being on the water.
