Compulsory Lifejacket Wearing Requirements  Compulsory lifejacket wearing
requirements will be enforced as of November 1 in Pittwater.
Lifejackets will be required to be worn in the
circumstances shown below, along with the type of lifejacket that can
be worn. Children less than 12-years-old are now required to wear life jackets at all times in boats less than 4.8m long and in boats less than 8m long on the open sea. Other boaters in vessels less than 4.8m long must wear life jackets at night, in ocean waters, on alpine lakes, when boating alone and when the boat is being used as a tender more than 400m from shore. Waterskiers and wakeboarders have to wear life jackets at all times, and paddlers in canoes or kayaks must wear them on the ocean and if they are more than 100m from shore. Complete details of the requirements and legislation can be found at the following web address; http://www.maritime.nsw.gov.au/campaigns/lifejacket.html click image to load flyer
Lou kindly provided the following information about lifekackets which may be useful.. Have spoken to Evan Starling in regards to waterways and life Jackets Ev said you can order the bum bag life jackets from Outback online for $48.00, Whitworths are selling the same item for $100.00 just letting the Islanders know because the Maritime will be booking everyone from this 1 November $250.00 for not having a jacket under a tinnie 4.8m if you are driving on your own. Happy boating Islanders. P.S. the waterways have recommended this jacket to all this week so you don't have to look like an idiot. Kind Regards Lou Birkett Offshore Choir Afloat Rehearsals Everyone is Welcome  There will be 4 rehearsals held at The Gone Fishing Gallery, Church Point starting at 7pm sharp
The performance is on Thursday, December 22. The Laurel Mae will be anchored almost on-shore in Frog Hollow at 6:30 for a 7.00 p.m. start. If people would like to listen, they should pack a picnic, bring their bells to shake during jingle bells, fire up the tinny and make sure they've got a stern anchor or, if they are available, they can raft up on any spare moorings. When the program is completed at Frog Hollow, the choir will continue to Church Point, where a repeat performance will be held, followed by a party at the The Gone Fishing Gallery. More details and song sheets to come.
