RYA Day-skipper theory assessment
Yesterday I finished my RYA Day-skipper theory by doing the assessment.
Everything went perfect and I passed the course.
As mentioned in an earlier post, I did the course over Internet and my review of an education like this on the net: It’s just perfect, good and fun.
I took my RYA course by www.navathome.com.ย Who are a RYA recognised Training Centre. I can just recommend them to everyone.
They give you all the support you need and in case you are doing something wrong you receive a reply by E-mail from them within minutes.
When you are doing a good job on the tests you will receiveย feedback and congratulation.
Later when it’s time for a Yacht master theory course, then I will do it by Navathome again.

Our visit in La Grande Motte, International Multihull Boat Show
We shouldย make a video including some pictures. This to show you a little of our visit at the International Multihull Boat Show in La Grande Motte.
Unfortunately the camera we broughtย with us did not perform as we wished. We had to use the iPhone to be able to show you at leastย something.
[kad_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/lf4rGRkOjBI” width=550 height=400 ]
That’s whyย the quality of the video isn’t the best. Never mind, at least you get a fewย impressionsย of our shortย timeย in La Grande Motte, France.
We hope you will enjoy it anyway – we did for sure!

Sunday walk among the wine yards
It was a wonderful Sunday yesterdayย for aย walk among the wine yards. When friends ofย us asked if we would like to come along for a walk we could not resist.
The temperature was 18ยฐC so more or less perfect – not to warm and not to cold.
Here are a few pictures how it looks like in the area we live (almost like Tuscany, Italy).
On our walk we stopped at a really nice little restaurant for lunch and some good wine.

RYA Day Skipper theory course
As you can see on the pictures I’m working on the theory for the RYA Day Skipper education.
Have so far made all 12 chapter with good result. Are right now just doing a repetition of all. To see what I will need to read and practice more,ย before the final assessment.
ย 
I am doing my day skipper theory online through a company named Navathome.com which I can really recommend.
You receive quick respond from the instructor in case you are doing something wrong.
They do not revel the correct answer but let you know that you should consider your answers again and correct them.
They evenย give you a feedback when you answer some of theย questions really good as well :o)

Storm Glass Barometer updates
I am back with a few update about the look of the storm glass barometer at three different weather conditions.
This is how the storm glass barometer looked like when we hade a few days with really excellent weather.
As it still seems to fit the description.
Secondย picture show how the fluid looks like 24 hours before a gale 10 storm arrived. As you can see the parts in the fluid looks a little feathery. As the description says it should. So the first one is correct.
Thirdย picture are before some light snowfall. It came snow though not really much, just about 5 cm. Anyhow I would say this is as well correct. The fluid should be mostly on top with some stars moving in it.
Here above are two different model for sale on Amazon
We careโฆโฆyou may too with your next donation?
