ICC, pat on my back please!

[cliffdale]

Last July, I wanted to go to France but I couldn't fit in the ICC before our main cruise.

We went to the CI instead. Had a great 3 weeks their!

Just completed the ICC, yipee, France here I come.

The weather the day before the Icc, wind about 1mph!
On the day, it was blowing 4 to 5 SE. Sea was lumpy, not the sort of weather I would choose to go out in.

Following day of ICC, wind 5mph!

Pleased to say everything went smoothly but I am glad its over!

Ps, got all the lights correct!

Well done!
Sadly however, nobody will ever ask you to produce it.

What made me do it was the marina staff in Jersey asked to see all the paperwork for a French boat rafted to us. Fortunately the French man had all the required papers and he continued his holiday.

The Jersey marina staff said that if I was caught without the ICC, the French authorities could impound the boat until someone arrives with a suitable qualification. With that on my mind, i didnt sail into french waters.

May be quite true what you are saying but I didn't want to take the risk. With my luck, I would probably be the first!

Well done!

Had to show an ICC whilst renting a boat in France a few years ago.
Spent 5 weeks on Rodos in Sep and Oct but not asked once.
Mind you that was helming a private vessel.
Anyway cliffdale.
Well done that Man and here is a large PAT

Very well done! you might never be asked to produce it, but even if you don't there's certainly no harm in having it.
That reminds me, better send off for mine

Last year on the French Canals I was asked once for my ICC.

So it can happen.
