cat-as-trophy Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks Donna, I will endeavour to make all other female Fishraiders proud with my exam results next weekend. What a top day was had by all, be as it may a very long one. Although the venue was changed at short notice, the staff at the St George Sailing Club have to be commended for the service that they supplied. Bickkies, tea and coffee at morning tea, choice of menu for lunch (all piping hot, with reserved seating for all of us), muffins, bickkies, tea and coffee for afternoon tea, and they cleaned up after each one of these breaks. Top bunch of fellow raiders in attendance made it even easier. Being able to put faces to names of people that I have been reading about, or kicking their butts, was great. Donna and Stewy would have been proud of the way we all represented Fishraiders. Being a female, I was asked why I wanted to do this course, not being the skipper of a boat. My reply was, "If I happened to be fortunate enough to be on a boat that is fitted with VHF Marine Radiotelephony radios, out at Browns, or someplace further off shore, and something happens to the skipper of that boat, if there was no other licenced operators on board, at least I would be able to use the radio with confidence (and without getting fined)". There is a lot to take in, but Bob and Harry made it a whole lot easier to grasp with their explanations and funny stories. It is no burden to carry, and even if it is never used, it will have been $150 well spent. I would recommend it to all members, male or female, as you never know when it may come in handy. Well good luck to all other raiders doing the exam next week, study hard, and we will all pass with flying colours.

mrsswordfisherman Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Well the Class of 2009 have sat their exam for MROCP. A big thanks to Bob and Harry for their effort and expert tuition. Fishraider on your behalf have handed over a donation of $300 to K4KK (kayakking for kemo kids). Bob and Harry take no remuneration for their time and ask for a donation to help this worthy research into cancers in children.

casper Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Just want to say a big thanks to Donna and Stew for organising and to Bob and Harry for their time and wealth of knowledge. Just got the results in the mail last night and I passed with 90% - one of the biggest reasons for that was the study questions that Donna sent through if it wasn't for them that result would have been much different. Thanks Again!! Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat-as-trophy Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I also want to say thanks to Stewie and Donna for organising this course. It is because of you that I am now the proud owner of a MROCP Licence. Yes I passed. Yipppeeeeeee!!!!!!! There were times when I wondered, what have I got myself into, but you guys helped and encouraged me all the way. It may never be needed, but at least I can rest easy in the knowledge that should the situation arise, I will know what to do. Once again, Thanks Mr & Mrs Swordie Cheers Mrs Flightmanager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
