Back to College

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

 

Glad to hear you might be back soon! From the short time I've been on this forum, I can tell you have a lot of determination, mental strength and wisdom, so I know you can do this! It's great that they can work with your disability. They sound somewhat understanding! And it sounds like the end product will make you very happy.

As much as I hate when people say this to me (because I obviously can't help worrying), I truly hope you don't worry too much smile We'll all be here for you when you come back.  

Best of luck and we look forward to your return!

i am never really away, I pop in and out and answer some posts.

When I get my Marine Tickets I will be back the same as in the past.

I have two days left, one at sea and the other learning Marine VHS Radio. I keep my fingers crossed and hope I will have a holiday on Loch Ness in two months time. We can then get on with my new hobby.

Thank you for your kind words
