More Women Are Becoming Captains

It’s not much discussed but more and more women are showing up at boat shows, marinas, and on the waterways these days with a six-pack – and we don’t mean beer. We had the pleasure this spring of being aboard a motoryacht with a female captain who was only 5’ tall, but carried a 200 ton license. Pretty impressive! She knew her stuff, and went by the numbers, no short cuts, or good enoughs. If your spouse, daughter or friend down the street has a nautical bent, why not encourage her to become a Captain?
