......and succeeded with flying colors

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

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

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 !!!!!

Virtual beers on me tonite
