Then came the inevitable questions of ?why that?? so I started adding notes. By the end it was a work of art and I got to thinking ?How many cadets do not have the luxury of an ex seafarer to help them or an adult with too much time on their hands and a passion for doing things to the nth degree and getting things spot on?? The spreadsheet actually prints out on a single sheet and is split up intoDont just dream, Go and do it!!

This thread made me howl! The exact reason I wrote the article was to stop people panicking in the last few hours and trying to find a late night store to buy the things they forget. Use a bit of common sense guys - pack at least the day before, especially the first few trips until you are skilled at it.
We like to help - but first help yourselves!
