Mercator Sailing (Tutorial 1) - Practical navigation for ships!

In this series of videos, I continue teaching practical navigation to ship sailors and navigators at sea. This video shows how to calculate problems based in Mercator sailing. The use of Norie's tables and interpolation to obtain meridional parts from it is also shown.

Benefits of this membership are long-term. As a exclusive member, you will enjoy: 1) Access to hundreds of previously loaded videos (through the community post) which are not accessible to the public. 2) 3-4 new videos every week not only to help with your studies but to plan your career. 3) early access to videos due for public viewing by at least 2-4 weeks. 4) Posting questions and getting answers to your query early and personally from me to help you with orals and exam preparation. 5) opportunity to network with other members and request for resources and/or guidance (and from me of course).
