Boat Handling Course November 2010

The day started really well - the engine on the boat was flat - but a kind chap from the boatyard gave us a jump start! Some eejit (nobody from our Club!) had parked their 4x4 in the car park - which flooded with the rising tide. Jeremy alerted the Police who must of got in contact with the fishermen as they came speeding down the straights to rescue the car! After an eventful first hour - we got the boat going and Tommy, myself, Kevin and Myfyr did the most of the practical element of the BHC, usually the water was flat calm so we couldn't do the rough water element!! Good fun was had by all, the previous days lectures worked wonders - "which side of the buoy should be??" The rest of the gang have got all this to look forward to!!!
