Us power squadron

Does anyone have any knowledge about the us power squadron? I was just strolling through the Internet and came across one of their Web sites. It seems they are a very large national organization. I was wondering if anyone here was a member and what it's all about.

They're legit. My dad back in the day had taken both a USCG and a Power Squadron course. He liked both as they dealt with different topics. I believe he said the USCG was more on rules of the road and such while the Power Squadron was more on boat handling. But that was 30+ years ago now.

Well the squad around here looks like all old guys...

There volunteers that patrol the lake and provide assistance. You get your gas paid for to cruise around the lake basically. There are a couple old dudes that patrol our marina and I have to constantly yell at them for no wake. It always amazes me that they think they can barrel through our Marina just because they are on duty.
