Sixpack did the official Dutch Navigation Exam April 8, 2006
 

:ahoy:

......and succeeded with flying colors :know: :sunny:

I thought I had the right to brag here, if only today :smug:

So the investment of freetime during the last 6 months have not been invain ! And better yet, I dont have to do it again: Navigator for life :up:

This exam regards Theoretical Coastal Navigation (in Dutch TKN). I get the certificate in 3 week time.

Charts plotting, meteo, tides, streams, IALA-A, GPS, calculating depths, Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, signals and lights, surveying (compass to chart and vice versa), etc. etc. Serious stuff.

I tell ya I am glad to put that pile of books and charts back into my cupboard !!!!! :rock:

Virtual beers on me tonite :()1: :()1:

Congratulations :up: :up:

Thanks, you get an extra beer for being first :yep: ;)

Well done Sixpack the world is your oyster. Here’s to you. :()1: :up:

Congrats. I remember taking my navigation exam in the US Navy, it was a b_i_t_c_h !

Congrats. I understand that you are a very keen sailor. What exactly does passing this exam permit you to do? Can you now sail solo around the world? Do you aim to perhaps down the track undertake a long voyage on the worlds oceans? Again, well done. :yep:

Congrats!

Did you have to do a morse exam?

Sixpack did the official Dutch Navigation Exam this morning
 

Well done, Flying Dutchman! :up:
Your fellow Hollander is proud of you.

We also understand that most of your controversial posting was nothing but letting off steam because of the intense stress you've been under...
:rotfl:

Congrats :up: Having next one for you :()1:

We get some of those ritzy Dutch floating hotels like the Oosterdam in town occasionally. Maybe I can get Sixpack a cushy job on the navigation deck......? :cool:
