Hey everyone,
Just a couple of quick question for you if that ok.
Im looking building some sea miles and doing a Day Skipper course in the Caribbean, im here now already and I figure its a great place to learn to sail.
I understand the basics of sailing, can handle a laser reasonably well, do you think the combination of that and a 300 mile trip would be a good enough grounding for the Day Skipper course?
Also, im a bit taken back by the costs of the theory, its just a notebook and an exam no? Each level of Day/Coastal is like 350euro!
Is there any wake to make the theory more affordable?
Thanks in advance
