As mentioned in the last issue of On Deck, the Boating Committee has been busy planning a calendar of events for the next 12 months including overnight cruises, day cruises and training activities. The training calendar will kick off with a special NavRally Training day in February. We aim to demystify NavRallies and provide support for those contemplating involvement in the future. The day will bring together experienced NavRalliers with new and interested members and their families to get a taste of Nav Rallies – what they are, what they have to offer, and how to get involved. This day will offer an ‘on water’ component so that participants can have a go in a relaxed environment accompanied by an experienced skipper to guide them. Please keep an eye out for forthcoming editions of our Members’ weekly email for more details of this event. I write this in hope that good weather would smile on our lunch cruise to Mornington on Sunday 29 January. This is always a popular cruise and a programmed J R Kerr event. It kicks off our calendar of events for the `LHYSL[»ZOVWL[OH[ÄUL^LH[OLYHUKNVVK company is the theme for the year. On Sunday 12 February we are planning a Family Cruise and Competition to be held on Port Phillip. It is also planned as a J R Kerr event and is designed to provide a relaxed cruise on the Bay, combined with a quiz about inshore and land based marks between Parkdale and Seaford. So again I ask that you refer to the members’ weekly email for ongoing information about this event. Preparations for the Refuge Cove overnight trip (March Labour Day long weekend) are well underway. As places for this trip are limited and there are only nine rooms at the Welshpool hotel available on the Friday night I suggest that you book early through [OL)4@:VMÄJL0M`V\^V\SKSPRL[VRUV^ more about this weekend, please call me on 0413 011270. Please be aware that this in an off-shore activity and there are additional safety requirements for participants and their vessels. The Club’s new calendar sets out a schedule VMTHU`ZVJPHSÄZOPUNHUKIVH[PUNL]LU[Z0 urge you all to use this as a planning tool for your boating activities during 2012 and I look forward to seeing you at more of our events. Until then, Safe Boating There will be no Parma Nights in January 2012. The first Parma Night in 2012 will be held on Thursday February 16 and the next on Thursday March 15 In the downstairs bar, in front of the fire. It’s a good meal with value for money for the whole family.

Transport Safety Victoria’s Maritime Safety Branch has launched a campaign “Will You and Your Boat Float “. For requirements and tips on safer boating please visit: www.transportsafety.vic.gov.au Peter Corcoran Director – Maritime Safety Transport Safety Victoria The campaign will raise the boating community’s awareness of the importance of wearing a life jacket and the essential need for correctly sized and Ä[[LKPU[LYUHSI\V`HUJ`PU boats. Boats can be swamped, lose stability, capsize and sink – and even the most L_WLYPLUJLKIVH[LYZJHUÄUK themselves entering the water suddenly and unexpectedly.

ON DECK – January/February 2012 As usual, many people put in a huge effort to make this weekend a success.

Thanks guys from all the Fishing Committee. The lowlight of the weekend was an effort put in by Darrel (Scooter) Seager of Wangaratta who had his motor pack up on day one; day two saw a double hook up on his two rods in a plastic holder. Snap! both lost over the side. Day three - rod in holder again, his son bends over, backs into rod, and it was also lost overboard.
