Nah dont do games consoles, I waste.. um... spend enough of my time on here, it's still more productive though I suppose, learn a few things here 
As I say the main reason for not getting one is because I won't have a boat for a good few years unless I discover how to turn copper into pure gold - if I'd have been more clued up a couple of years ago I would have had one but for my last few weeks on her this summer, I'll be going round Port G, I'll be signed up to Seasafe24 or whatever it's called, always have a few mobile phones to hand on board that all have good signal, and the number of the St tropez Lifeboat station - should be fine

Nice link PD, cheers - hadn't realised it was so popular up there - there's a lake next to the business school but I feel that's probably more for decorative purposes Maybe I could start the Nottingham Uni Powerboat branch! A few 18 footers tear-arsing it around a lake smaller than the local swimming pool, could be a right laugh!

You don't need a VHF licence to use a VHF in an emergency, and to be honest, if its an emergency do you care if you need one or not?

I'd probably use it anyway, but with it being France I'm interested to know if there could be any repercussions - it's one thing reasoning in English but in a different country I'm sure it'd be harder - Really I was just interested to know if it was illegal to use one without a licence in France, as I couldn't find a website...

The lack of fluent French is a big advantage in such situations, by the tenth "je ne comprehend pas", they'll give up. Anyway, as I say, the regs state that the person using the VHF must be a licence holder, or under the direct supervision of a licence holder, except in an emergency.

About £35 a week on average - it's my parents' boat and my familys' holiday home, I'm just the captain
