Certificates of Seamanship
It crossed my mind that some may want to know how I became so involved with boats and boat kits,basically I joined a William Aitken designed 'Ingrid', named Brer Terrapin,a double ender built really well of mahogany on oak,it was locally built too.I joined as crew and sailed from Cape Town to Salvador,Bahia,thats in Brasil.The rest just happend and while I thought I had left college far behind,it was not quite true.As we can not skipper our own yachts without either a Skippers Ticket or a Radio opperators licence,here are some of the certificates I was granted as time went along,the last one being to 100 tons.
