i am taking my Day Skipper and have watched plenty of instructional videos. Your video is clear, concise and in 6 minutes taught me more than a few hours of the other complicated ones. Great work and thank you

[@junglejonty]

Thankyou very much for explaining very clearly in 6 mins (replayed and paused a couple of times) what my instructor failed to explain in 5 days....

[@markjones8013]

Very clear, annoying little noise before you start every sentence, might be better without that for your audience sake.

[@DAllan-lz3lg]

The lip smacking is infuriating but it’s a well presented film.

[@barcalonga]

thank you so much! This is soooo much clearer than the RYA online course!!!!

[@kimmccullough6802]

Tide or current? Isn't tide the up and down movement of water, while current is the in and out, left to right, side to side movement of water?

[@Nikola16789]

Quite similar to aviation navigation.
