Life Raft Service

At twelve thirty we arrived at Ocean Passage in Penang, directed to park at the back of the building, we were met by a smiley young man who helped us unload. Our life raft and Bob’s (Wind Witch) were soon trundling toward the test area in this huge warehouse. Very carefully our lid was removed.

A very quiet man came in to deal with Bob’s and both men gingerly felt about to disconnect the automatic inflation. Ours was soon exposed.

I mooched about and loved the tool boards with outlines drawn behind each tool. Bear settled to wait.

The work board, oooooo two chaps condemned.

One of the condemned, held together with much gaffer tape and very saggy looking.

Finally, our chap popped up.

Out of date emergency stuff had a good rummage – to be replaced before repacking of course.

There we are on the work board - yay.

After a pleasant couple of hours we bade ‘farewell’ to the two men and the lady, one last look at our trusty little steed – about to have his pressure tests done. Neither of us actually wish to see him again, just good to know he will be serviced and sleeping back on deck. 
 
 
ALL IN ALL A HAPPY EXPERIENCE
                     VERY CAREFUL, PERNICKETY MEN AND GOOD TO WATCH
