Junior Seamanship Test

The Junior Seamanship Test has been rescheduled from last weekend. It will now be this coming Saturday at 12:30 down at the beach. In order for a junior to win an award in the junior series, they must pass this test. If one gets a score above 70 they pass, and if they get a score above 90 they are a "seaman" and are not required to take the test again the following year.
