[misc.handicap] Navigation Instruction And Signing

Bill Gorman recently asked if anyone knew of a signing instructor of small
boat navigation, and indicated that he knew of a couple that were in need
of finding such a person.  The request is a little unclear, but I presume
they mean they are looking for a Coast Guard certified instructor in either
freshwater or saltwater boating (which would include navigation techniques).
Well, I don't know of anyone who is a signing instructor, but I would think
all they needed to do was attend a Coast Guard approved course in the local
area and hire an interpreter to interpret for them while in class.  Certainly
that would be cheaper than traveling to Lord only knows where to meet with
a signing instructor.  For the location and dates of Coast Guard boating
courses in their area, pick up the telephone book and contact the Arizona
Department of Conservation (they will know, or will be able to put you
in touch with someone who will know).... Happy and Safe Boating.....
