The Voluntary Safety Identification Scheme

This looks like a good idea.

 

If you are at sea and get into difficulty and you are unable to raise assistance, is there anyone ashore who knows what to do if you fail to return at your estimated time?

We have a sheet we give out to customers - which you can fill in with chinograph or wipe off felt tip. Gives all the info you need to anyone. Either leave it in the car window with a date and time that if you are not back by for someone to contact the emergency services - giving the info on it.

The other option is to sign up to the Coast Guard CG66 scheme - they have your details then for all time - until you update the info if you change kayak etc.

It is the CG66 programme. I registered a few weeks back, and always call in when I go to sea, and when I return.

So, to recap for all latecomers, Dan posts a link to the CG66 programme. Simon mentions the CG66 programme. I confirm it is indeed the CG66 programme. Richi posts a link to the CG66 programme. CG66 standing for Coastal Groundhog 66 presumably.

 

So folks, that's the CG66 PROGRAMME, to be found at http://www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/mcga-hmcg_res...a-hmcg-cg66.htm .
