We got our boat licences

After months of debate and several arguments, we finally agreed that Ian could buy a boat. However, with neither of us actually having a licence to drive said boat, it seemed rather a good idea that we sort that out.

So off we went for a day in a local RSL club learning all about navigation buoys and rights of way (get out the way of big things and yachts!). The practical element of the course was disappointgly cancelled due to strong winds. In hindsight, 30 knot winds as a beginner would have been a bit scary! We drove straight to the only NSW Maritime place open on a Saturday and put in our applications. Et voila, a week later, our licences appear!!!
