Weather, Safety and Medical Arrangements

Adverse Weather
Adverse weather or the threat of it may force us to alter sailing dates and may result in the itinerary of the trip being changed. This shall be at the discretion of the skipper.

Safety
Safety is the primary concern in all our voyages. Everyone onboard will wear a lifejacket at all times when at sea. Safety harnesses may be made compulsory at the discretion of the skipper in certain conditions. There will be a safety briefing at the commencement of each voyage outlining rules for general safety while on deck at sea - the siting of fire extinguishers, alarm systems etc.

Medical
Please inform the skipper if you have any medical condition we should be aware of. A comprehensive medical box is carried onboard. Remember to take any personal medication with you. Medical boxes only to be opened by one of the crew.

Sea-sickness
Sea sickness pills are provided onboard and it is advisable to take a dosage before sailing if you have doubts about your sea legs.

Tidiness
Space is at a premium below decks and a degree of general tidiness is necessary. There is space under the seats for stowage of belongings. If you have a large amount of baggage you will need to keep it in your bunk when you are out of it.

Smoking
There is no smoking below decks.

Alcohol
There is a time and a place for everything. Alcohol in large quantities at sea is not a good idea. The occasional sundowner or glass of wine with a meal is quite acceptable but all persons onboard should be aware that they may be called on deck at anytime and need to have a clear head.

In port conditions are more relaxed but anyone persistently drunk will be considered a danger both to themselves and to the ship and may be asked to leave.
