Thoroughly enjoyed mine! worked so hard for it and had a real opportunity to show someone that I really do know my stuff, a couple of mistakes on the practical side (had to re approach the dock) 3 knots of tide and a stiff cross wind made it a bit tricky. but it was managed in a way that it didn’t end up in panic and the assessor liked that i knew it wasn’t going well. Also on my night exercise I was using a starboard lateral as a bearing to know where to stop the boat, that evening the green light wasn’t working! Ended up having to find another marker further up the channel quickly on a paper chart, ended up being a better fix anyway. Amazing video, I hope people in my situation will watch all of it
