Session started ith a Bosuns Locker safety review on heaving lines

Rest of the evening was spent on seamanship, commuication skills and leadership.  A simple task was worked through, transfering Mana Rescue 1 from one side of the berth to the other and back.

A plan for the task was worked through, tasks assigned, process confirmed, leadership affirmed.

An interesting night with the actual task achieved and a lot of learning for the crew

Crew learnt about chart work. They plotted positions and bearings taken while out on the water.

Delivered MOSS module and associated competancies

We took MR1 out to do a test run to make sure all systems are go to bring it back into service after maintenance.

While out and about we circumnavigated Mana Island, ran some MOB drills and did a navigation excercise into Titahi Bay.

All systems check out.

Seamanship theory  assesment part 1 

Advanced manoeuvring between the bridge piles with a strong outgoing tide. Training to work in close quarters to other objects whilst maintaining a safe distance, while the current is trying to push you into things!

Also learned a new excercise on the pole moorings to test helm, bow line handling, stern line handling and effective  communications between all crew members.

induction for 2 new crew

9 crew attended the training at the CCR office

Modules worked through were personal Sfetry leading to an in water safety session at the p0ol

Marine SAR which decribes the NZ search and rescue system andwho is responsible for which level of response

3 crew went out in dismal weather to work through some tow and helm problems

working a boat on a taut line, repositioning the CRV on a taut line, working with wind and current. Operating in restricted navigation channel

To support nat Volunteer Week we were donated food by subway

We introduced the Committee and handed out some well deserved certificates

Regional Ops manager gave an overview of need for SOPs and how we as a unit need to evolve

It was a good event and the crew are keen to repeat on a regular basis every 4-6 weeks. It will be good to to have a

common focus each time and possibly food.

Running through some training for one of the crew members who is preparing for her advanced helming endorsement. Tonight we ran close quarter manouvres in the marina before getting tasked by the Harbour Master to assist with something in Onepoto Harbour.

Other crew spent time on the nav station and did rope work whilst coming alongside, calling distances, etc.

MR1 was used to develop advanced helm skills and Navigation/Radar work.

The training started with speed and manouvreing practise, then went into manourvering in confined areas at moderate speed to develop hand / eye  and situational awareness. As dusk fell a strobe  ligh on a dan buoy was used to develop night pick up skills.

MR1 transited back to base using radar navigation, refueled and then some slow speed work inside the marina

3 crew from CG Mana attended this On Scene Coordination workshop run by staff from the Rescue Coordination Centre

The day covered information flow, reviews and case studies, good practise guideance and finished with a small tabletop exercise where multiple site and search coordination  was required.

A good day of learning

 Mr 2 - Senior crew practical pre-assessment evaluation - Kate work through the assessment syllabus  This covered CQM, anchoring, MOSS, navigation, towing, and leadership capabilities. Mr1 - demonstrate compatancies in radar and navigation instrument use.
