Checking Cargo Ship Compass Error With The Sun | Life At Sea 

Nice explanation Bryan. Good to practice & thinking again. I almost forgot this method due to I quite seaman life. Working on shore now. I’m Thai Seaman.

Great video. Fully watched and liked 21👍

thank you, sir. This is what I've been looking for

Very interesting Bryan. Seemed complicated at first but after watching really made sense. The details and accuracy are amazing. Great video again!

Thanks! So navigation at sea uses true north! In aviation magnetic north is used. We solve for the difference in reverse! TVMDC- “True virgins mean dull company” vs. CDMVT - “Can dead men vote twice”! Haha!

The ship structure and containers really mess up with magnetic field, really interesting. The fact that the loadout of containers make it harder to predict make it even more interesting. Never tough about it, but it makes sense.

Wow.... pretty complicated for us non Mariners but great explanation Bryan!

as always Great 👌👍🏼 WCDP thanks and have a safe voyage 😊

Capt. You so much better than my college instructor here in the Philippines👌

5:07 Great to observe active implementation of advanced technology for reducing glare on magnetic compass 😀

Brilliant, thank you!

Good lesson! Thank You!

You will be a good professor sir, your voice and accent is easily to understand bravo!!

Congrats!!! Didactic and informative video! Good horizons for you!!!

Wow videos are very informative

Wish you the best Bryon,S I U. All the way

Like the way you educate sir, thank you

Great videos!

Oh yuck. I felt like I was in math class again and trying to learn Calculus. Couldn't even learn Algebra. Very interesting even though I could not understand it. I love my GPS and coordinates and tracking. I think if you would use tracking and when you get to your destination you can zoom out and see how far off the GPS was and how it tracked you.... right? I need to copy those coordinates and see where you were. :-) Weird, no matter how I entered it on google, it would not work this time. I always enter coordinates into google and it shows me. Maybe you are in the Bermuda triangle. :-)

Surprised to see GE being measured in terms of east and west. We usually mention it being either High or Low, Well according to the british and indian merchant marine industry.

excellent

Pirates didn't know any better, kept looking at the sun with their sextant. That's why a lot of them would wear eye patches, burned the iris and pupil out.

Do you have a video of how to calculate the azimuth without the program ? (manually)

Bryan - You mentioned that this was a 'digital ship'. Are there no paper charts or even sextants on modern ships any more? Or do you (occasionally?) chart your position manually as a 'check' (or back-up) on the digital positioning?

Good video:) So GE seem's to be quite big, yet not so much... Really like those videos, do go on.

Very informative. Presumably the compass on the bridge wing is a slave repeater so where in the ship does the main gyro live? Down low I'm guessing. And is there a spare for breakdown cover?

3:15 the refreshing of digital readout/screen

I thought that was Myth 😂. Thanks for another informative video Bryan 👍

Capt. is that a 2012 version of the Skymate Pro??? or an updated one?

Its the 21st century and we're still using the sun.. stars and a compass.. Technology is amazing... but its nice to have a plan b

But what if you're carrying containers full of super magnets from China?

🤯🤯🤯🤯

0:47 What watch brand/model is this? Are there watched that are particularly favored by mariners?

You got g. Brg by azimuth How did you get true brg before solving??.

Is it the same Procedure as by taking azimuth by the star??

how important is the sun being used in obtaining errors of the compass

Over 1.0, recalculate. If same, recalibrate.

I thought that Gyro Error is either low or high. 256.9-255=1.9 low.. since it is low you will add it to your gyro bearing to get your true bearing. Then convert true bearing to compass bearing. Please can you explain why your gyro error is “E” instead of “low”

How does G. Error is East. Gyro Error can be only low or high.

why most navigators uses SUN checking errors of compass?

Im a 2nd year cadet and online classes ain't helping me in my navigation classes

For the first time to know that you can get VAR from gps i know only from paper chart or ecdis Whats the type of that gps please?

What happens when the pole shift happens and magnetic north disappears?

HOW

Wearing mask at open sea strange

Easy way

And all the maths behind the software and calculations are based on the fact the earth is a sphere. Love all these kicks to the teeth for flat heads 🤣

Tv makes dumb cadets

Hahaha! CDMVT? Only when they vote liberal!

For gyro error you cannot use Easy or West, you should use high or low
