When I was 12 I went on a school activities week thing to Cowes on the isle of white. We spent a week learning how to sail a small yacht (45 feet). I remember being really enthralled with the open seas, pulleys, ropecraft, jibs, spinnakers and all things sailing related - and i admired the skipper (captain) the way little boys do - I wanted to be him when I grew up!
At the end of the week I got my RYA Competent Crew certificate - it's still on my CV He had misspelt my name as 'Proven Rad' - D'oh!!
Anyway I kinda liked it and it's finally been resurrected... :-) (see profile for my real name)
