    Jervis bay accommodation with a boat

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    Im looking at going down to jb next week and will be taking my 5 metre boat down with me.

    As ive never been down there can anyone suggest a caravan park or other accommodation that I am able to park my boat along side us.

    Nothing to fancy as we will be out fishing all day we only need somewhere to sleep.

    cheers guys.

    300 hours is not a lot.

    I had a Yamaha 4 stroke on my last boat which I sold last year and it had 750 hours without a problem but I did service it every 100 hours. The motor was 6 years old.

    My new boat has another Yamaha 4 stroke I have had since September last year and I'm already on 124 hours and its not even a year old.

    New Boat - VHF or 27mhz?

    Thanks Beaver.

    I will look at doing the course myself in the near future.

    So on a final note you can't be fined or get in any trouble with the law for not doing the course and using your VHF but its best practice to do the course?

    Hi guys I have a question regarding VHF radio.

    If you have not completed the course for VHF and you have a VHF in your boat and want to fish outside say Sydney harbour are you not allowed to contact Sydney marine rescue via VHF and log on because you are not qualified to use the radio?

    TSK, all of your shots are outstanding!

    What camera are you using? I couldn't get anything like that out of my point and shoot.

    Thanks for sharing them.

    Hi clutch, thanks for your feedback.

    I am using a Nikon D90, i love it.

    I would recommend this camera to anyone.

    I have taken so many good shots with this camera.

    Buy a DSLR and you will never look at a point and shoot again.

    Cheers

    Anyone here completed their coxswains?

    Hi guys thanks for your replies so far.

    I called up maritime and they told me i need 1800 hours of offshore hours in a boat over 5 metres and I will also need signed documents to prove this time.I don't have this.

    I asked them if I can do a lower class coxswain as I dont plan on driving large vessels offshore. What I want is to start up a fishing charter business in sheltered waters but the guy told me that I can't do anything else? This does not sound right so I just looked up on the net and I saw that you can do a restricted coxswain but the maritime guy did not mention this. Who else can I speak to regarding this as I don't want to call up the same guy that I spoke to?

    Hi guys,

    I am just wondering if anyone on here can shed some light regarding completing their coxswains course?

    I am thinking about doing it but i want to know things like the following:

    What would the average length of time to complete it part time?

    Can anyone do it?

    Whats required? I have heard something about you must have a certain number of hours under your belt?

    Is the course difficult?

    Average cost?

    Is there something else i should know?

    Thanks

    charlie.
