Unleash Your Inner Captain: Safer Boating Skills for Every Adventure

The Oxford Community Center invites all recreational boaters to an
interactive presentation on boating safety skills and emergency preparedness. The event will take
place on April 11th at 5:30 pm and will be led by co-presenters Captain Gary Culver of Culver Yacht
Services and Coast Guard BM1 Bryant Gooch.

The event is open to the public and will be held
at the Oxford Community Center, 200 Oxford Road, Oxford, MD, 21654

The presentation will cover a range of crucial topics including: rules of the road, weather
preparedness, marine radio use, float plans, boat safety checks, impaired boating laws,
emergency equipment, and hands-on emergency drills. Attendees will learn lifesaving skills to
handle common boating emergencies through group discussions and simulations.
“We’ve brought together leading boating safety partners to equip our community members with
the knowledge they need to boat more safely and responsibly,” said Liza Ledford, Executive
Director of the Oxford Community Center. “We welcome novice and experienced captains
alike”.

Attendees can expect a hands-on approach, minimizing traditional slideshows and encouraging
group participation in various scenarios. The event is sponsored by Brewer Yacht Sales, Cutts
and Case Shipyard, Pirate's Cove Oyster Company, and Culver Yacht Service.

The event is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 5:30 pm. Refreshments and oysters
will be available for purchase.
