josko Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 What's the curriculum difference between WFA and WFA Afloat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 WFAAfloat is geared specifically to the salt water environment I believe. I am signed up for this course as it is not offered that often from what I hear. The instructor is also second to none.Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbhazeltine Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Are people planning on finding a campsite or staying in local motels? Very excited about the course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eburgess Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I am thinking of looking for an inexpensive, no-frills motel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Foster Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm also excited to see a WFA-Afloat offered. Has anyone heard back from the instructor? I've sent two emails and heard nothing. Topsham is a 30-minute drive from some really great restaurants and beer bars in Portland, so I might try to stay or eat there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eburgess Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I heard back from her several hours after my initial email and received registration forms, etc. and a request for a deposit. I contacted her at the email address in Janice's first post: nzane@unity.edu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethS Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) I'm planning to stay in Maine for the night also, haven't figured out where yet, probably camping or a cheap motel, does anyone have any suggestions? If anyone wants to share a room/campsite I might be interested... and I like the dinner in Portland idea!
