25.01.2022 As the weather warms up and you head back out on the water don't forget the basic rules on the water. A simple refresh will help you have a great day on the water

24.01.2022 This is what gives pwc riders a bad name. Shame the water police arrived about half an hour later. This idiot was about 30-40 metres from the boat ramp this morning

22.01.2022 Passing rainbow beach

20.01.2022 The wind has started to build up already pushing towards the gale warning later on. Good time to put the feet up

18.01.2022 Due to the 1.5 metre rule MSQ has suspended all PWC licence training until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience but boating is all about safety first. Thanks

17.01.2022 View of Morton island coming up viewed from east of the north banks

15.01.2022 Okay.. While we’re doing so well at Social Distancing here’s the thing.. The last few years have taught me that when it is our time to leave this world no one can stop it. We have one life to live. The material things we invest in are left behind only to be discarded. Memories are important to me. I'm going to start a "reunion of friends and family". The idea is to see who reads a post without a picture. If no one reads my post, this will be a very short experiment. But if you are reading this message, make a comment using a single word about how we met. After that, copy this message on your wall and I will also leave you a word. Please, don't leave a word and then not bother doing it.

15.01.2022 An extract from MSQ's web site on updates to children and PWCs Kids and PWCs It is great fun to involve the whole family in your boating and PWC adventures.... A couple of quick points about kids and PWC’s. You should: operate your PWC only with the child seated behind you, never between you and the handle bars only have passengers who can place both feet at the same time firmly in the foot wells of the PWC have the correct number of people on board for the number of seats available. It is no longer considered safe to count children under 12 years of age as half a person. Three seats means 3 people - no matter the age. Operating outside of these points may leave you liable to prosecution in regards to your general safety obligations, under Transport Operations Marine Safety Regulation. MSQ’s marine incident data shows us this is the safest practice for your family.

11.01.2022 We need more patrols to catch idiots who ruin fishing and crabbing for everyone

10.01.2022 Another great day to be on the water away from covid-19

10.01.2022 Another windy weekend at Jacobs Well

08.01.2022 Aussieboating is up and running again as MSQ has given clearance to conduct courses. Due to covid-19, restrictions will be applied ie 2 students at a time on the vessel. Appropriate PPE and cleaning to be in place at all times. But at least we can move forward.

08.01.2022 We might be limited to two customers at a time but it’s a great looking day to be on the water

06.01.2022 Passed wolf rock and passing double island point

05.01.2022 BoatSafe The BoatSafe program management documents have been reviewed (1 September 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. For a typical PWC course it will include: Online or face to face theory training Multiple choice theory assessment (45mins to complete) 100% pass mark Practical training driving the PWC (until you are competent in all tasks) Practical assessment you must successfully complete all tasks to be deemed competent As we do with the boat training, we encourage you to practice riding a PWC with another licenced skipper or with a BoatSafe Trainer you may not be competent in riding a PWC in just a few hours. Some of the activities you should practice for both the PWC and Boat 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 General navigation and control of the ship/PWC Operate at 6 knots or less Practical Assessment Recreational Marine Driver Licence The following video demonstrates some of the practical activities you will be required to undertake during your BoatSafe course.
