Sea Cadets Offshore
Twelve cadets and two instructors spent a week onboard a 25m Offshore Motor vessel, Training Ship John Jerwood.
The cadets joined the ship on Saturday 30th August and after an overnight rest the new ship’s crew were ready to set sail. The cadets were detailed into watches. Each duty would last for two hours and the duty watch would be responsible for keeping lookout, navigating and helming. On entering port all the cadets would pull together to perform harbour routine.
The voyage took the cadets to Bangor (Ireland), Cambletown and Largs. Cadets achieved Offshore Power Hand Qualifications and badges for their uniforms.
