Get private on-the-water boating instruction on YOUR power boat. CAPTAIN LINDA LEWIS As an Emeritus Associate Professor from the University of Washington, I bring my professional educator background and 45 years of hands-on boating experience to my skills-focused teaching. I have taught hundreds of individuals and couples on their power boats over the last 15 years. Helping people to learn on boats is a great joy for me. I have also been a regular speaker on navigation & boat handling topics yearly at the Seattle Boat Show, Trawlerfest, yacht clubs, and other groups throughout the Pacific Northwest. Having cruised the Pacific Northwest’s ‘Inside Passage’ for 27 years – on both sail and power boats – (including nine cruises to Southeast Alaska on our 45’ trawler) has given me real hands-on experience.
