Mrs. Jennifer Park was asked about boats when she made a statement to the police in 1997, and she agreed that in that statement she had recalled some conversations with her husband that in his early years of marriage to Carol, he had had a 505 boat at Rowe Island and that he had built a boat in the front bedroom at Bluestones, in addition to the Big O, but in that statement Mrs. Park said that her husband had told her that both these boats had been sold early in his marriage to Carol. She told you that she could not remember now whether Gordon had indeed told her that or not. After four days of dealing with the police in 1997, she said she wanted to finish and did not really care. She could have been totally confused. She just wanted to finish making her statement, and this passage appeared fairly close to the end. Her recollection was that Mr. Park had told her that the 505 had been kept at Rowe Island.
Just turning for a moment back to the log book, we have looked at the certificate that was issued after whatever the elements were in the course. Perhaps we should just turn up that, if you would, please, ladies and gentlemen. The log book. The last document in the folder. Some of those entries indicate a completion of a substantial part of the course in 1976. If we look at the page with the certificate on it and the little .... there is an endorsement at the bottom, "A and B covered on proficiency instructor's course May/June 1976", and signed probably by John Crisp. There is an indication on the same page that examiners' signatures have been checked in October 1977 it says, initials J.C. We have a signature slightly different from the rest in the A column on that page, and then if it is the same as your copies, on my last page we have an entry for September 1977, which is signed perhaps by Mr. Peters; "Completed three weekend advance proficiency course and examined A2 to complete certificate", seems to be the entry. I think Mr. Park read that to us when he gave evidence. So it may be that Mr. Park did the bulk of his course in the May and June of 1976 and did one module, whatever it may be, in September, getting his certificate in October of 1977.
