Life jacket clinic today at Salterns, thanks to Chris Holloway for the leaflets. He is there until 1pm today (Sat). And a great opportunity to catch up with Dave and look around the Chandlery, lots of exciting products in and you could even buy a new lifejacket at the same time.

Congratulations to yesterday's VHF radio course students, fantastic results achieved 🤩. Most importantly they are now ready to confidently register and use their radios.
