Week in Review
This week was probably our most eventful yet! The early part of the week the class spent time practicing docking alongside the Throgs Neck Bridge, time in the classroom discussing rules of the road, working on radar plots and our first radar lab session, and last but not least, the personal survival day in the pool. Immersion suits proved to be challenging and "very hot" in an indoor setting which gave the class a better understanding of staying alive at sea. The weekend will be our second voyage on the Kings Pointer, so be sure to check that out next week!

Objective: Just tap the bridge fender lightly!

SPLASH!

PSSSSSSSSSSSS! The class looks on as the liferaft inflates.

"This is higher than I thought!"

The BOTC 99 class spells NOAA!
