Got a Test Date for the ICC

This is a bit scary. It turns out that you really need to have some sort of piece of paper to go sailing in European waters - outside the UK anyway so I have had to sign up for the ICC exam. Plymouth Sailing School are doing the honours (for a fee of course).

We will be going round to Plymouth Yacht Haven at 0900 and having what looks to be a blustery day out in the Sound while I demonstrate that I have what it takes to command a sailing boat in coastal waters.

It will also of course be a day wearing a lifejacket which I normally only do in very rough weather and when doing foredeck work in said rough weather.
