Hello everyone!
I'm preparing for my first sail in
Greece later this month, as a
new boat owner. By the launch date, I will have all paperwork sorted out (boat
registration,
insurance,
ICC, RYA SRC), except for one. Most probably, I won't have the Ship Station
radio license yet. It seems the Polish authority takes 3-6 weeks, and they may make me wait the extra 3 for the official RYA
license to arrive (I have sent the provisional I received).
Do you regularly get asked for this when sailing? Will I get into trouble for sailing without it? I will be sailing in the
Ionian Sea (Preveza, Paxos, Corfu) for 4 weeks.
VHF and
EPIRB won't have a chance to be reprogrammed to my own MMSI, too.
Thanks!
SV Blissful
