Saftey boat handling

I would like to say thank you to all that organised the training and practical for the safety boat improver session. and for all those that came down to the club. I for one found it informative and new and up to date information was learnt, even the little ditties from Martin I hadn't heard before. Also we must not forget Jo who looked after the galley and kept us in tea , toasties and sandwiches. Best of all the weather behaved with sun shining and enough wind to make the time on the water a bit more interesting.
