Bruce Gardiner, A/P
ABC-3rd Edition Co-Chair
Bruce Gardiner began his boating as a kid in Rhode Island. For the past 50 years, his family has had a cabin on Hood Canal,
but their biggest boat was a row boat powered by a 4 horsepower outboard.
In 2008, his wife KK asked “why don’t we get a boat?” Bruce explains, “when your wife says that, of course you make it happen.” So they now own a 22.1/2’ outboard, pilot-house fishing boat, which they keep moored at their cabin on Hood Canal.
Bruce has been an instructor most of his adult life, including for the Army; at several of the local Community Colleges; at the U of W Experimental College; and for quite a few Continuing Legal Education classes. He has taken most of the courses offered by the Power Squadron up to, and including Advanced Piloting.
