Take "The Squadron Boating Course" by the Mid-Hudson Power Squadron.

 

Mid-Hudson Power Squadron serves the Dutchess and Ulster County areas of NY with the Hudson River nearby where many club members are seen boating with their kayaks, canoes, jet skis, sail, paddle and power boats.  Also, during the months of April, May and June of each year some members are even found fishing from their boats or alongshore for the coveted striped bass in these world-class spawning grounds.

Mid-Hudson is one of 19 squadrons in District 2.  Each squadron is a unit of the United States Power Squadrons^® "American's Boating Club" with headquarters in Raleigh, N.C.  Our National publication is called The Ensign.  This national non-profit organization founded in 1914 is dedicated to safer boating through education with MHPS being chartered in 1926 (see "History" page for details).  Our  members share a common interest in boating even though all members DO NOT own boats.  We meet socially the third Wednesday of each month at different area restaurants (see "Calendar" page for details).  In addition, the club goes cruising several times a year from May through November.  Our "Photo Gallery" page shows some previous Rendezvous.

The Triangle to the right shows our three areas of primary interest.  The "Education"  page shows the many courses available to our members as well as classes offered to the public as a part of our Civic Service.  Additional civic contributions include free "Vessel Safety Checks" as well as collecting information about local waters to assist NOAA in upgrading nautical charts.

That's who we are and what we do - thank you for taking the time to learn more about Mid-Hudson Power Squadron.  For information about membership contact Pat Smalley.  If you have other questions contact George Danko.
