On Thursday Kate was presented to all the various inspectors who needed to pass her as fit for MOSS (Maritime Operator Safety System) certification. Good news was she passed all their hurdles. The only thing still to test is whether her new compass is pointing her in the right direction! Foul weather prevents that this week but will happen this month. That and armfuls of new safety equipment.
Then a whole lot of reports and form filling need to be completed by Mike Delamore and presented to Maritime NZ. With any luck we can celebrate a great Christmas and present Kate with her certificate as a compliant commercial vessel.
