The Waynoka WaterSports Club will be sponsoring an Ohio Boating Education Course at 8 a.m. on Saturday, October 24th at the Lodge. The cost of this course is $5, payable to ODNR Watercraft. This course will consist of 8 hours of instruction in a certified class followed by an exam. This year (2009), everybody younger than 27 years of age needs to pass a test certified by the State before they can drive any type of boat powered by more than 10hp. This class and exam will fulfill the Ohio's Boater Education Requirement that went into effect in January of 2000 and is administered by the ODNR Division of Watercraft.
The law prohibits any person born on or after January 1, 1982, from operating a vessel powered by more than 10HP unless the person has successfully completed either a boating education course approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrator (NASBLA) or a proficiency examination approved by ODNR Division of Watercraft. You can pre-register for the class by calling ODNR Watercraft at 513-734-2730.  Be sure to reference the date and location for above class. This class is open for any age and not just for Lake Waynoka boaters.
For questions, call Steve Johnson at 937-446-1585 or smjohnson44@verizon.net or Tom Kitchen at 937-446-9303.
