    Invalauble information presented in a no fuss Michael Briant style that we all love and appreciate. But I must add, you are looking fit and healthy these days. Good on you mate. Your channel is a treat!

      Thank you for that! When I made this video I thought it would not get many views but to my surprise its doing better than average... Not sure what part of Oz you are from but as you probably know the sun and warmth really helps the aches and pains!

    Another great video! One note of mention, if lightning gets you, or gps gets interrupted by solar activity... In the worst possible time, in a reef filled area, having a paper backup would be nice. I'm a not old, old fashion guy.

    correction: At new moon there is also a spring tide. At half moon there is neap tide

    • @SailingGently
      @SailingGently  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Erling your right! NOAA says: Spring tides always happen when the Moon is at the full or new phase, which is when the Sun, Moon and Earth are in alignment.

    Yeah, charts are getting out of fashion. It's just the changing times. I got a new boat recently and it doesn't ahve a chart table, don't miiss it. Never used it on my old boat really. Saloon table is good enough.

    • @SailingGently
      @SailingGently  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Your right. I use my chart table as a place to put things on.... The world does indeed move on - thank you for watching the video

      @obiwanfisher537 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      ​@@SailingGently I have recently asked this on a forum because I was not sure if I should take my chart table out and give myself more space below deck and just everyone jumped me and said it's so necessary and they are all still using their charts and like to plot that way and it just wouldn't be possible on a saloon table.
      It just shows how traditions are being kept alive.
      I do have a sextant as well, but that's just purely for fun. It's a toy, not a necessitiy any more.
      Smaller boats could do with the extra space below deck. On a 50ft boat you do have the space for a chart table even if it's not used much, but on smaller boats, it's just not necessary any moer.
      I imagine boats build 10-15 years from now will have designs eliminating the chart table and give extra seats.
      Thanks for the nice video :)

    • @SailingGently
      @SailingGently  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Everard you could be right, but merchant ships no longer carry paper charts, The Admiralty is going to stop printing paper charts. My sextant only got me to within 10 miles of my position and any one of my 6 separate GPS receivers will get me to within 10 feet of position.. Frankly 95% of of small boat sailors never go out of site of land and most of what I was on about was Pilotage.. But I guess it is a matter of opinion....

      It's always the way. You praise someone and the puff and preen and strut like a peacock. You criticise someone and ooh, no they don't like that stop being persona, blah, blah, blah. No mate, you miss the point entirely. I used the words 'tutorial' and 'vocation. I am criticising YOU. You are not a tutor. Your presentation is slow, flat, soporific, monotone. You may have sailed up every channel, inlet, back passage known to man, but if you are not a communicator, you're not a communicator. I had skool teachers like you in the 60s/70s. Don't worry, you are in good company on You Tube, there are thousands of you on here, not all in boating. You seem to think to yourselves after watching a couple of videos, OH! i can do that 'cos anyone can do that. But if 18+ subbys then i must be wrong. BTW, do you want me to kill your hairdresser?
