Soy Ingeniero en Sistemas. Antes de tomar este curso no tenÃa ni la más remota idea sobre navegación. Al tomar este curso, cuento ya con elementos a profundizar por si deseo tomar este pasatiempo. Muchas gracias a los capitanes Geo y Charlie y enhorabuena!
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Thank you!
Very explanatory and simple to understand. So far very complete. Very useful. It makes you think deeply about the very wide range of things you have to take care of if you dare to do it.
I will and will let you know.
So many thanks and good luck.

good one
i am only contemplating what might be possible for me to achieve in the future. I'm expecting that there's going to be quite a bit to learn, but this course though, has given me much to consider before I progress any further. Pro's vs Con's. Excellent. I'm sure that i'll get heaps of value from the links etc. , also. Cheers!
Provided some of what I've learned in my searching and viewing sailing blogs, as well as quite a bit of additional information and resources. The how to make money episodes were very informative. Maybe additional detail when talking about port entry and exit ( examples of the process and cost along with sighting websites where you can find it).
Overall I was very pleased.
Encouraging.
I watched this course in one sitting and was thoroughly entertained, and although I am a long ways off from owning my own boat, I found the course to be very informative and inspiring.
I was reading "Cruising as a Way of Life" by Thomas Colvin, and I found that a lot of Colvin's material was way out of date, and I was able to have my questions answered by watching this course.
I would recommend this course to anyone who has plans to, or dreams about cruising the sea.
It is just a sailor talking about his experiencing,not a real teaching
