Hehe.......thanks Searush. I guess that the RYA are taking things to the extreme with the classroom courses, I suppose this makes you stop and think about what is actually going on around you.......I think that we were all wondering how all of this theory works in practice........especially when bouncing around in a short chop with a chart table that is a third of the size of the table we used in the classroom............. I just love these 'rule of thumb' methods like the one you describe about taking rough bearings, I'm collecting as many of these as I can for use in the 'real world'.
I'm off to Gib next week to take my DS Practical.......I hope this will open my eye's a bit to the realities of navigation / pilotage. As I said at the end of my theory course "I can now navigate a desk anywhere in the world".........lets hope I can safely navigate a boat around Gib next week.
Thanks again for the reality check
