"Wonderful" material, I run a school in Canada and have never come across materials on the net like this. Do you
have a book or can we purchase a disk for training purposes?

Hi. A great site, your nav course is very well developed. I am an instructor of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard.
What you have done is really good and I wait with baited breath to see how far you can take this.
Truly fantastic site. This navigation tutorial was stimulating. I want to throw my GPS overboard.
Excellent course. I can tell that you have taken a lot of time to develop this.
I know - I
am responsible for the navigation course that is used by the USCG Auxiliary.
