I get it, watch my set of videos my wife says I am boring and the opposite of Jake. To be fair to him his series of videos was for the younger audience
Very nice. Just curious, since no one can hear you, why do you check to see if there is no communication traffic on the frequency before you place the DSC call?
Incorrect information at 5.50 minutes . Showing a vessel under SAIL from th front, port and star board lights correct, but also showing a steaming light.? Which indicates a vessel UNDER POWER. This particularly bad when the previous instructions correctly insisted that a SAIL boat engine driven is classed as a vessel UNDER POWER. So at 5.50 showing a steaming light must therefore be a VESSEL UNDER POWER from the front.
You are correct the writing on the bottom writing is wrong but the voice over is correct, I have edited it with you tube, thanks for pointing this out it is most helpful.
Question. I saw this in a movie. If the channel lights on your charts aren't exactly the same as the actual lights in the sea, is that suspicious, even if it's a slight difference? In the movie, it caused a shipwreck on coral reefs.
They should match up, if the chart is outdated and not corrected then it will not. Sometimes the lights do not work or a buoy can be off station but that is rare. Make sure you are using an up to date chart
@@CitySailing Oh, I should mention, movie took place in either the 20's or 30's. And as a matter of fact, the yact's owner said "Charts are never up to date in this part of the pacific." Would you like a link to see the beginning of the movie, to further understand the chart context? I might have some more questions
Hello Skipper. Some of the most fantastic memories from the 1st leg that I still think about today, The stars without light pollution, the raw power of nature, and the capacity of the human body to produce vomit! Fair winds and following seas.
Can’t remember the names but was a leg back to Chatham from the tall ships race of that year but I can say a storm in the North Sea was a testament to the skill of the skipper and mates onboard
I have just recently taken an interest in sailing so forgive me if this is a stupid question. In the last slide it looks as if boat A has no sails up which may mean it is under power. Power boats give way to sail boats? I'm a little confused.
This is useful stuff for me. I have everything up to and including Coastal Skipper Skipper Shorebased, and my radio cert, but haven't sailed for quite a few years. so am going back over the previous course material as a refresher, before doing my Coastal Skipper Practical. This channel is perfect for that.
good overview of the basics. The one that is drilled into my head more than any other is that when you are in a channel e.g. the middle of the Puget sound, the freighters have the right of way. If you are in the way they can't really stop or swerve and bad things are going to happen.
@@CitySailing I'm sure he's a really nice guy and first class instructor. It's just that when I'm watching an educational video, I want to feel relaxed and at ease. The edge if the seat delivery just turns me right off.
