Type: oil-chem vessels.

I was at 0830 am in mca for orals. Beata came 0900 am and told me 10 mins later she will start.
0910 she called me for orals.briefed about fire alarm that today is no testing of alarm any alarm u listen will be actual.
And in that case you have to follow me.
I just nodded my head .
Then she told there is a full mug of water and glass whenever u want pls serve yourself.
No need to take permission from me.
Actually that moment I was feeling cold there but as oral started I drank around 5 to 6 glasses of water.
At intervals of 5 to 6 mins.
Before starting my oral report I will advise u guys that what ever Vinil and shane teaches u byheart it.And once u byheart keep speaking At least for 10 times in front of mirror or in front of your friends.
Bcz if u donot speak then in oral room it will be hard to give proper shape of your answer.
Byheart rules with explanations. U cannot avoid this.
Also byheart each and every content of vinil both notebooks.u will feel well confident.
Also follow moodle and important folder for mates and master.keep practising slides of light and rv situations from moodle.
I guarantee ror situations will be a piece of cake for you.
For ship handling watch video in periscope several times .U will do best in oral room.
For certificates divide into solas ,marpol,and other statutory certificates for your vessel.

Untill orals just keep in your mind That u have to follow only Vinil instructions and notes.

So following questions were asked me

1.buyos channel safewater Mark lateral stbd,west cardinal,prefered channel to stbd.isolated danger Mark.
Then she swung the compass, I was heading south,actually its copy of a true compass. So it’s very easy for u to understand directions.
I asked her do I have to explain about buoys first then manouvre. She told just manouvre.

2.trawler shooting nets underway and stopped or at anchor. On smarty board no action full description.such as shape fog length etc.

3.pdv from stbd side on smarty board and action.
Actually I just stopped here for few seconds.
Bcz I was not digesting that so easy situation she will give.i was thinking it must have some catch.
But it was normal pdv probably 50 or more.
Again full detail and action .
Can u go to port .I said I should avoid and coated the rule.

4.She asked if from port side action as per what rule. I spoke as per 17 .
Then she started asking part by part of rule 17.
When shall,May,shall,Will come.
I just quoted the full rule.
Then she told well done with it.

5.She stood up and put one star on the centre of table and one plot on fwd stbd beam and one plot on stbd quarter.
And then she told me 3rd mate have plotted and u reach the bridge and see this.
Is it correct.
Actually I think this is her patient question of Rv.she keep asking this same question to everyone.
My reply was if it was on correct intervals then it’s ok.well it looks pretty good.
Then I started my self about action.
For fwd one go to stbd and for stbd quarter go to port.
So in this case I will slow down..
She removed all the stars from the table.
