A couple of weeks ago I received an email from the Maritime Department saying be at the local boat ramp Tues 13th between 2-5pm and swap old life jackets for new ones. Sweet I think drag out two old jackets and down I go yesterday. A big van pulls up to about 60 people and the driver quickly informs everyone only 1 per person (big shipment had not arrived in time) and that a fee of $60.00 per swap was required (there was no mention of money plus old jacked in my email). Yep back in the car and home I go thinking what a con. Many of the boaties were pensioners who travelled some fair distances. So to the wombats who organised this farce well done, pat yourself on the back for nothing. KP
They have completed the same thing down here, at a different ramp every weekend, it works out you get a good jacket for a much cheaper price than in the shops.
I agree Noelm the jackets may be value for money but the organisers should have stated the $60.00 charge in the email. I live close to the local ramp but I felt for those who travelled a bit of distance on the promise of a bargin. KP
