Ben & I spent the week at Powerboat training UK in Poole. At the cobbs quay marina we completed our PB2 (powerboat level 2).
We then refined these skills to learn advanced boating techniques. Like MOB in high winds, holding the bow onto a cliff face in high tides and winds, anchoring, high speed turns to avoid ice bergs and Stopping the boat a high speed in a safe way.
Engine upkeep is an important task to do whilst we're down south, so we had a short practical session on what to look out for and how to fix it!
We tested out our new drysuits by jumping off the boat near the shore - happy to say that they didn't leak, hooray!
Thanks to powerboat training UK for a great week - can't wait to get on the water at Rothera!
