Hello All
I am sorry I have not been on site for a while, I hope to be back soon.
I have been studying fo my Level Two Power Boat Ticket and it is very dry and not very interesting so it is taking a bit to swallow.
We have our first day out tomorrow, most of the morning is out within the Bar then we will be having lectures in the afternoon.
Because of my Disability the two intial days will not run together, they will allow me to rest between courses.
Two days ago I suffered a nasty flare and I was having problems concentrating, I was really fed up and depressed as I thought the course would have been cancelled. I suppose if I find it to hard to do I will look for some other activity I could try, I cannot allow this to get me down.
Some of the exercises tomorrow, I have to do only once and possibly never again and My Anxiety is running wild, we have to launch a craft into the water and reover it and my strength is not really that good. We were told last week someone nearly lost several fingers, performing the action.
We also do man overboard and parking the boat and understand the Marine Highway Code I think so it is going to be an interesting and anxious day, learning new things and making safety manouvers.
I need encouragement I suppose, I am nearly sixty seven, disabled. They say they can allow for my disability. I will see what happens. Our Instructer is a Pensioner as well
