Although we have access to an accurate position most of the time from GNSS… it’s good to practise traditional skills to keep them honed.

Invited to the Cowes Lifeboat to give some met training. Watched the boat launch, which was great. I hope they found my efforts as useful and interesting! (And yes, had to include some “when we were in Gib” stories!)

Just had a lovely testimonial from 2x Day Skipper students:

“We thoroughly enjoyed our Day Skipper Theory course with Clive of Apogee and feel it has given us a really solid grounding and the understanding we need to take on to DS practical and beyond. Clive is very personable with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the subject matched with lively, witty delivery, memorable anecdotes and a wealth of experience to draw on. His approach, pace and arrangement of the course content made it extremely accessible and he gave us many invaluable tips for the practical application of our learning at sea.”

Breezy old day on the Solent but it can’t stop a powerboat two course!

Cold weekend training some future superyacht crews. Can’t start leisure courses for a while yet until this pandemic is licked. Nice to get back on the water, though. Clive Blount
