Seminar - Boating on Rivers, Locks and Lakes

Boating Seminar – Rivers, Locks and Lakes

Chuck Wills and the America’s Boating Club would like to welcome you to a  free, 2-hour seminar from 8-10 am on August 26 at the LGYC Ballroom.  The USA has some of the finest boating to be found anywhere.  The Tennessee River with 652 navigable miles is one of the best waterways in the nation.  TVA maintains the waterway which we share with commercial vessels. Understanding the rules can make boating more enjoyable and safer. Topics include special navigation rules for rivers, going through a lock, communicating with lock masters and barges, river currents, flood conditions, and AIS for inland waters.

If we have an interested group that has never gone through a lock, we will organize a trip to the Guntersville Dam and demonstrate best practices to transit a lock.

Please RSVP so we know how many seats to set up.

Please contact Chuck Wills if you are interested in doing a lock trip or have questions at willscharles@gmail.com or (256)506-7773
