I took it last week on BoaterExam.com and walked it with 35/36. 5+ weeks for the hard copy license but the temp one expires in 60 days from issue if you're panicked.
I know a link for $20 off if you're interested...

I keep thinking I should get it before they increase the difficulty of the exam. I should put it on my short list of things to do.

Thanks Ian, that pic was taken by Cape Enrage on the Bay of Funday, when we were on one of our side trips.

33/36, apparently the answer to "what do you do if approaching a sailboat in distress" is NOT "run over his slow azz and salvage anything still floating."

But srsly, it was pretty easy, tripped up on a windspeed classification thingie, one sailboat question and a navigational aids (it's not a sailor's disease, apparently).

Oh, and +100 on Wayne's new avi, bery bery nice.
