harbour master assistant.

[mollykins]

In the paper they advertised three posts for harbour master assistant.

However, I can't do that many hours (20 or 35 p/w). I do have power level 2 and first aid, but not VHF radio licence. As well as seamanship skills from cadets.

Is it worth me sending a cover letter and CV? (of course there'd be no point in filling in an application form because i can't do that exact job, but say they found me and someone else that could together do the 20 hours, who knows?)

ttfn - when are you going to compose second verse?

[ttfn]

I don't really have much knowledge of boating beyond clinkers. rowlocks, weighing anchor - the 2nd verse is more imformative as I recall, Tony ;o)

[TonyV]

that's reasonable knowledge of chandlers equipment you have ttfn. Think you can let a another verse let go?

Agree with Boxtops (again today) - contact the harbour master and ask if there are any holiday jobs you could do. Even if it's only a bit of cleaning and tea-making you would at least be around the right community and learning how things work. It would also be a good way of networking. This summer cleaning for the harbour master, next summer crewing someone's private yacht - you never know.

Also, whilst I know it wouldn't be paid, is there a lifeboat where you live? I've spoken to one or two youngsters at Cromer in the past who train with the lifeboat crew. Or do you have to be 18 to train with them? Just thinking that would also be good experience.
