"Thank you very much for a very informative and enjoyable course, Greg and I both had a great time. You have shown how important it is to be trained even if you have many years of experience."
H Atkins

"We all enjoyed and learnt from the course on the weekend. Much discussion after and it was agreed that you presented the course extremely well, with humour mixed in, which makes a course much more interesting and relaxed. Thanks to you and the FVSRG for running the course.
Cheers and thanks."

Bruce Wiltshire and the boys

"Just wanted to say thanks for the small boats course. I really enjoyed it, thought it was very well organized, and useful, and thought that your presentation was excellent, with a good balance between being informal and relaxed, yet covering all the serious stuff. I'll be recommending you!"

MVSRG Rottnest Boat Convoy

The Fremantle, Cockburn and Whitfords Sea Rescue Groups (Metropolitan Volunteer Sea Recue Group) are planning to conduct a safety boat convoy to Rottnest in October. For many years the three groups have been contemplating a one day safety convoy with a family theme, where participants can return on the same day or early the next morning. We have many new and exciting ideas for a varied format.

One emphasis will be on the involvement of children including use of radios and steering a rescue boat and learning about the equipment on board.

Who better to teach boaters the correct way to and around the island than members of the sea rescue groups. There is over 100 years experience between the three groups and Fremantle has had a rescue vessel permanently moored at the island for over 10 years. There will be a barbeque at the end  to revise the events of the day and to get feedback from participants and gauge interest in other planned events including a night convoy. The planned date is for October 4th. As the MVSRG is not running the event as a profit making venture we have kept the costs down to $60.00 per boat plus landing fees if applicable.

As this will be the first day convoy conducted totally by the sea rescue volunteers we are wanting to keep numbers down in order to customise future events with the help of the inaugural participants. If , as we anticipate, the event is oversubscribed then we will organise extra convoys to cater for numbers.

To register interest and receive more information, contact us.
