Hi
            Rita,
          
          
            
            
            It took awhile but I've finally gotten around to writing this note. This
            course seemed more than I could handle at first so I procrastinated for
            some time.  It turned out to be a very good decision and I have
            to thank you for encouraging me to do it. 
            
          
          
            
            Capt. Eric was all you said and more. His knowledge, patience and
            calm demeanor helped me to learn all the lessons I needed to
            pass easily. Capt. Eric and my fellow crewmates made it a very
            pleasurable experience and gave me the confidence to get out on the
            water and use the knowledge I've gained. 
            
          
          
            We
            stayed on board the night before the course which gave us a
            chance to check the boat out and get familiar with the boat systems
            and for someone with limited boat experience this was a very big
            plus.
			
			With the Maryland School of Sailing you get a five day ASA 104
            course which was a definite selling point with me. This gave me
            plenty of time to use the things I was learning before
            taking the test. I
            give the school and Capt. Eric an A+ and would definitely
            consider other courses with them.
            
            
          
 
          
            Thank
            you,
