[QUOTE="PeteN11, post: 2171553, member: 516926"] Hi [USER=494173]@dmacdonald[/USER] I do wish you well with your future plans but just want to let you know that it is not just flying that have such restrictions. I am 58 years old and diagnosed 18 moths ago with Type1. Before diagnosis I was Maritime & Coastguard Agency endorsed Yachtmaster Instructor which enabled me to skipper almost any size of sailing vessel worldwide. As well as teaching sailing I was delivering yachts all around the world. Unfortunately due to the medical requirements this has had to stop as I cannot now do solo watch keeping, cannot be any further than 20 miles from a safe Port and have to be back in a Port every day. It has been [I]"harsh" [/I]but I fully understand the reasoning behind the restrictions and would hate to be unable to do my job of keeping my crew and vessel safe if incapacitated. Good Luck.
