As every boater knows, obtaining local knowledge is an important part of a safe and enjoyable boating experience. In this educational seminar, you will receive detailed information about the Neuse River and adjoining waters. You will learn the locations and features of many popular anchorages, marinas, and boatyards in the Neuse and Pamlico River basins, as well as the ICW to Morehead City/Beaufort and on to Cape Lookout.

To get the most from this presentation, the attendees should already have some general boating knowledge.

The presentation will incorporate electronic charting but it would be helpful for you to bring NOAA charts 11552 and 11548 (or their equivalents) to follow along.
