Linda Lewis
Capt. Linda Lewis holds a USCG 100-Ton Masters License and has 45 years of hands-on experience (sail and power) cruising the Inside Passage (including nine trips to SE Alaska). An Emeritus Associate Professor from the U of WA, she brings her professional educator background to presentations on navigation and boat handling topics at many venues. Through Linda’s business, she provides customized on-the-water instruction, on-your-powerboat (www.privateboatinginstruction.com).

Twin engine boats are great for maneuvering in tight spaces – once you know what to do and you practice to build your skills. The single most important skill? Pivoting the boat in its own length, using gears and throttles, while accounting for boat momentum, wind and current. We’ll walk through the how-to of the important skills and strategies, making a learning checklist for you to use on your own boat. Capt. Linda Lewis has taught hundreds of couples on the water in the Seattle WA area (www.privateboatinginstruction), emphasizing safety, procedures, couples’ communication and good teamwork.

She is a source of inspiration and knowledge going around the country giving Keynote talks that help people to enjoy life, know how to become better at what they do, and keep the spark of enjoyment forever burning. Pam not only helps cruisers have the right equipment for blue water sailing, but she is also a source for information on the cruising lifestyle, routes and sailing information, and helping to encourage new cruisers. Chances are you all have been to one of Pam's many instructional seminars across the country. She is well known for her many presentations at all the boat shows and Safety at Sea Seminars. You can reach Pam at pam@pamwall.com or see her web-site www.pamwall.com for her personalized consulting.

How many times have you found yourself just not doing the right thing to ensure you will happily come alongside a dock with no mistakes or misjudgments? After being taught by Pam’s husband, Andy, the easiest method of coming alongside a dock, no matter what the wind or tide is doing, Pam has perfected for coming alongside a dock because it is so easy. See how Pam comes into her slip or alongside any dock that has cleats or bollards, with ease and safety most every time. Watch what Pam was taught and uses on a daily sailing basis to get her boat safely and efficiently alongside a dock. Hopefully this will help others to have that same feeling of a successful docking experience every time. See Pam’s web-site www.pamwall.com or contact Pam at pam@pamwall.com.
