Well, did it at the weekend, the sea safety course and very good it was too.
It is really quite odd jumping into a swimming pool with oilies on.
It also seems to take ages to find the toggle to inflate your lifejacket, what a relief when it goes off though!
One lesson learned - fit a spray hood to the lifejacket!
Then after a struggle to get into the liferaft we all sit there like stunned mullets, soaked. It is very unpleasant even in a heated swimming pool, let alone the English Channel
