tjsa Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Pretty well everyone must have theirs by now. You would think that with all the posts about this that it would be true, but I doubt it. Probably only over half of us have the card. I have had it since the first 6 months that it was imposed on us. Being that the cutoff date was mid September 2009, when a lot of us put their boats into sleep mode, I suspect they figure they will now do the test in the upcoming months before spring, if they remember. I know a couple of guys at work who have not not done it yet. I will remind them of the requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Farmer Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Mines wore out. You can't even read it.I hope they have a Central data base. I've been waiting for a renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I passed my course 6 weeks ago or so and am still running with my "yellow" copy... card is supposed to be here soon. RFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Mines wore out. You can't even read it.I hope they have a Central data base. I've been waiting for a renewal. There is no central database. If the shysters you took the test with went under, you're out of luck if you need a new card. Folks who took theirs with any of the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons are in a bit of a better position. WOW! I can't believe how safe our waters will be now!

SRT8 smoker craft Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I was reading a report yesterday and out of the 8 million boaters that require license, only 2 million had it. I was going to say the same thing but the report I saw from a the power and sail squadron member was 1.5 million out of 8-10 million boaters had got it by sept 1/09 I won't be getting mine for a couple more weeks as I'm back to work monday after being off for 7 months and won't be using it till I start targeting fall pike and ski's in mid october they will prolly scrap the hole thing in a few years anyways .
