Hooray Diabetic Result.

A bit of self indulgent hand clapping here


Finally after 3 years I have in my mit an ML5 without geographic limit and
a coded boat cert 20 miles from safe haven.
I even have a note saying I can solo crew with passengers up to 1 and a half hours but found that 12 persons on off and jackets etc mean having a crew person aboard is no hassle.At 40 knots the 1 and a half hours meant that I can do most tours anyway!

3 years ago I was told NO NO to the request to ml5 and code useage so for 2 years I have been stuck to cat waters.

Chuffed to bits that the mca (who it has to be said have been stars actually listening to my points and allowing a gradual move toward today.)
It can be done!!!!!

(sorry to go on but I am so pleased with myself I may have to buy a new shirt to say normal person on it to wear on the boat!!!!!

Mike,

Very pleased for you.

I remember my early conversations with you and my prognosis that i did not think that you would get the chief medical officer to change his mind on policy. Delighted that you did achieve it and above all that it is a sensible decision for once.

However the biggest challenge remains in talking wiffie into a new boat !!!

Cheers
