- timer on each page that prevents you from moving to the next lesson is really annoying. Most pages have 10-15 seconds of reading materials at about a grade six level, but the timer forces you to sit and look at it for 60-90 seconds. Waste of time - Not recommended for coastal boaters. This course is directed at lake/river boaters and misses a number of key points for coastal boat - e.g. repeating the incredibly dangerous idea of 'red to right returning', which should NEVER be used on the coast - the correct phrase is 'red to right with the flood tide or upstream'. 'Red to right' regularly puts boaters on the rocks on the coast.
