How do you apply for a boating license?
Author: admin
I’m in Illinois if I want to drive boats what do I have to have and how old do I need? Does this mean I can drive the boat solo? Can I use this in other states?
You need to check with you local state DMV. If ILL requires one they will state the min age req. Just like a car drivers lic, you will be legal in all states to operate a vessel. Here in Alabama a 12 year old can get a vessel learners permit until he turns 16 and then can drive solo.. Just like a car drivers license.

Recently, I have been into water sports. I am really an enthusiast. I do sailing, motor boating or fishing before. Right now, I am deciding to go into canoeing. Where can I make a purchase of top quality Marine supplies? I am wondering because I want to further my experiences in water sports.
Merritt marine supply unlike all other stores provides you with all types of spare parts and other marine supplies you will need for both building as well as repairing your boat. The biggest advantage of buying your supplies from Merritt marine supply is that you will get everything under one roof. Moreover, the company emphasizes on providing branded material, which in turn means that quality will definitely be top notch.

Boat Carrying Cynthia McKinney being Attacked by Isreali Navy 12:45am
From the Free Gaza Movement:
(This is the sixth boat that the Free Gaza movement has sent to Gaza … in a symbolic effort to end the seige of Gaza. These are small boats, and they do not cross into Israeli waters at all. This Israeli attack on the boat, which occured in international waters, cannot be described as ’self defence’ by any stretch of delusional imagination.
CNN has report on this–it helps that one CNN reporter is on board– : http://edition.

===============================================
URGENT! Israeli Navy Attacking Civilian Mercy Ship! TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY!
The Dignity, a Free Gaza boat on a mission of mercy to besieged Gaza, is being attacked by the Israeli Navy in international waters. The Dignity has been surrounded by at least half-a-dozen Israeli warships. They are firing live ammunition around the Dignity, and one of the warships has rammed the civilian craft causing an unknown amount of damage. Contrary to international maritime law, the Israelis are actively preventing the Dignity from approaching Gaza or finding safe haven in either Egypt or Lebanon. Instead, the Israeli navy is demanding that the Dignity return to Cyprus – despite the fact that the ship does not carry enough fuel to do so. Fortunately, no one aboard the ship has yet been seriously injured.
There are 15 civilian passengers representing 11 different countries (see below for a complete list). At approximately 5am (UST), well out in international waters, Israeli warships began surrounding the Dignity, threatening the ship. At 6:45am (UST) we were able to establish brief contact with the crew and were told that the ship had been rammed by the Israeli Navy in international waters, and that the Israelis were preventing the ship from finding safe harbor. We heard heavy gunfire in the background before all contact was lost with the Dignity.
It is urgent that you TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION!
CALL the Israeli Government and demand that it immediately STOP attacking the Dignity and endangering the lives of its passengers!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Dignity departed from Larnaca Port in Cyprus at 7pm (UST) on Monday 29 December, bound for war-devastated Gaza with a cargo of over 3 tons of desperately needed medical supplies donated by the people of Cyprus. At our request, the ship was searched by Cypriot Port authorities prior to departure, to certify that there was nothing “threatening” aboard – only emergency medical supplies.
