25.01.2022 **UPDATE** has been claimed. Found, number plate at Loam Island Boat Ramp today. Please contact us if this is yours.

22.01.2022 To all fellow boaties please be advised that Kids of all ages are allowed on boats, I have now been advised by 2 seperate people, that an authority on the water has stated that kids under 12 months are not allowed on a boat this is WRONG. I have had all my kids in the boat since 3 weeks of age, therefore I hope the below Q and A help you out, Q. When is it compulsory to wear a life jacket? A. It is compulsory to wear a life jacket:... When crossing a designated coastal bar in an open boat that is less than 4.8 m in length, if you are under the age of 12 in an open boat that is less than 4.8 m in length, while it is under way. Q. Does this include infants? A. The requirements only apply to children who are over 12 months old. It is not recommended that children under this age travel on boats unless necessary, at which time they should be held securely by a parent or adult. Thanks The Team at ABCNQ

19.01.2022 Statements QLD JOINT STATEMENT Premier and Minister for Trade The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk... Minister for Health and Minister for Ambulance Services The Honourable Steven Miles Sunday, April 26, 2020 COVID restrictions ease Following encouraging signs Queensland is flattening the COVID-19 curve, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced stay at home restrictions will ease. From 11.59pm Friday, May 1, Queenslanders will be able to leave their homes for recreation and the distance they can travel has been extended. For example, Queenslanders will be able to enjoy some relief from stay-at-home rules and: Go for a drive; Ride a motorbike, jetski or boat for pleasure; Have a picnic; Visit a national park; and Shop for non-essential items But there are three conditions that apply linked to the above: Social distancing and hygiene must be maintained You have to stay within 50km of home and Outings are limited to members of the same household or an individual and one friend All other rules including gatherings and limits on visitors remain in place during this time. The Premier said numbers of new infections would be watched closely and the measures reviewed after two weeks. The first sign of a spike we will not hesitate to clamp back, the Premier said. This is a test-run to see what effect easing restrictions has on the containment of COVID-19. I encourage all Queenslanders to back this first step so that we can keep the virus away and help everyone start to get their lives back. Health Minister Steven Miles said Queensland had earned a reward for its hard work. We have done the right thing, the Minister said. We have to keep doing it. Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young supported the new measures. Before you couldn’t leave home unless it was for essential reasons like getting groceries or exercising or going to work and you had to stay in your suburb where possible, Dr Young said. Now we are saying you can have more flexibility but remember we are still having to stop the spread of COVID-19. State Disaster Co-ordinator Steve Gollschewski said police will assist people to understand the new rules but will still enforce flagrant breaches. Police will be understanding but this isn’t an invitation for people to undo everyone’s hard work, he said. The Premier said she hoped easing restrictions would mean some older Queenslanders could finally leave their homes. They can go for a drive to Mt Coot-tha or a national park or a beach in their region but they still have to avoid crowds, the Premier said. I know this isn’t returning life to normal again but we are still in the midst of a pandemic and we still have to be careful. The State of Queensland 1997-2020 Standard site

09.01.2022 well its good to see that MSQ is being proactive in the Boatsafe scheme, there is some clearer guidelines coming in October this will change how liceneing occurs and the cost to the student please have a read and expect that you will no longer get away with just a 1 day course and I should never (bet I do ) get asked again "Do you gaurantee I will pass?" we have many tools to help you out and as Townsvilles first approved Boatsafe Training Provider. You can rest assured we wi...ll do our best to get all our students up to speed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BoatSafe The BoatSafe program management documents have been reviewed (01 October 2020) to provide a clearer framework for the BoatSafe trainers and outline MSQ's expectations for how our new boaties are being assessed as competent skippers. To support this focus, we want to ensure every student understands what is expected of them when attending a BoatSafe course. The following key points is what a typical boat course includes; Online or face to face theory training 50 question multiple choice theory assessment (45mins to complete) 100% pass requirement Practical training driving the boat (until you are competent in all tasks) Practical assessment you must successfully complete all tasks to be deemed competent We encourage you to practice driving a boat with another licenced skipper before arriving at a BoatSafe course - you may not be competent in driving the boat in just one day. The BoatSafe trainers in most cases will offer training sessions if you don't have friends or family with boats that you can practice on. These training sessions should be used in the same way that new car driver would engage with a car driving instructor. Some of the activities you should practice are; Man overboard drill Safely approach a floating object Port and starboard turn on and off the plane Figure 8 manoeuvre on and off the plane Berthing and unberthing the boat General navigation and control of the ship Operate at 6 knots or less If you have any questions touch base with your local BoatSafe trainer to discuss. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

04.01.2022 WOW this is so sad, we normally train here with our big boat and at times have had over 6 m of water here have a look at the past pics compared to the ones from EverlastingTreasuredMemories

04.01.2022 Not the best way to to Launch, cruiser for sale washed regularly. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1191343440957335/permalink/3028124433945884/

03.01.2022 I regularly get asked what to do with out of date Marine EPIRBs, firstly it comes off the boat, gets deregistered on AMSA website and then it gets placed in the truck for an on land emergency, once it fails test its a simple process(see instructionswith each picture), most importantly there is zero risk of accidental activation. Thanks the team at ABCNQ
