Donal,

Mapped out a sailing program and got the local council to run it as a
retraining project to allow me and several others to knock most of them off
in a 6 month time slot. It bailed out our local sailing school for a while
until they rolled over and the project was bailed by the Docklands Trust.
Still got the silly little paper tags in the back of the logbook too, can
validate a time line if needed. Took my YM offshore practical about 12
months after that, did my Ocean qualifier about 3 months after that (theory
already bagged on project) but never did the oral as I just ain't so hot
with a sextant and sight reduction tables.

Still note you have not answered the call, good job diverting attention for
the question raised though.
You a faker or no Dolan?
I have my knife and fork ready if I need it, but I still ain't convinced.

Donal, I did my exam around 11 years ago. I had just started sailing and
was
studying my CC, DS, CS and YMOf & YMOc at the time you claim to have
passed
yours.

All of them? At the same time??? You are taking the p&ss! I don't
believe that anybody would/could study all these courses at the same time.
Do you really expect us to believe that you did the Competent Crew and the
Yachtmaster Ocean at the same time?


I think that you are a liar! I do not see that it is possible to meet
the
the requirements for the YMO in the same year that you do the CC.


I can not say I noticed the exam guideline or curriculum changing in
that
time. Which leads to my questions...

Do really have a YM?
Which is it?
What endorsments do you carry?
What is your issue number? At the rate they were/are awarded I would
imagine
we will be within 1000 of each other.

Go on, be brave, face me down on this one. I will eat humble pie if
needed
but IMO you are a faker!

You are wrong. Why do you think that I am a faker? Get your knife and
fork ready.



Regards


Donal
