In conjunction with Survey Nelson Limited, amend the ship safety manual to reflect:
· a policy to ensure that all persons on board wear a lifejacket when crossing the bar outbound and inbound regardless of the prevailing conditions on the bar.
· operating limits set separately for the Uawa River bar and outer fishing grounds, based on observed conditions, the capabilities of the Osprey and his own local knowledge and experience.

Life jackets are now worn on all trips over the bar and off the beach. I intend to implement the recommendations of the final report as soon as possible.
