This year, the Great Lakes License Advancement Program recorded the highest number of participants ever, says instructor Chris Edyvean. The average class size is four to six, but this time, there were 12 mariners in attendance. The license type breakdown was typical he said, ranging from Original 1600-Ton Mate to Original Great Lakes Mate Any Gross Tons and Great Lakes Master Any Gross Tons.
