点评:I've sailed with Pete before, when he and Carrie ran PASA, so I was keen to revisit Gib and see them both again. Carrie was enormously helpful as I started the week with my VHF exam, having booked the online theory a few weeks back with Rock Sailing.
Mark was the instructor and skipper for the week and he is amazing - a wealth of knowledge, calm, clear, supportive, and always willing to explain things. He gave the whole crew a safe space to laugh at yourself while still learning and having fun.
A huge confidence boost to my boat handling skills (always nervous in a marina with 37 foot of someone else's expensive boat) and some great sailing along the coast and around the bay. With a wide range of skillsets and experience on our boat, Mark made everyone feel welcome and ensured everyone got a chance to try something new as well as practice and improve.
An amazing week that's given me the confidence for my own boat. Definitely will be back for Coastal Skipper.
Hot, sunny, great wind, clear blue waters, and only a short flight from the UK - combined with an incredible team, why would you go anywhere else?
翻译:我之前和皮特一起航行过,当时他和凯莉经营着PASA,所以我很想重游直布罗陀,再见见他们俩。凯莉帮了我很多忙,因为我这周要参加VHF考试,几周前我在Rock Sailing报了线上理论课。
马克是这周的教练兼船长,他太棒了——知识渊博,沉着冷静,讲解清晰,乐于助人,而且总是愿意解释各种问题。他给所有船员营造了一个轻松愉快的氛围,让我们在学习和享受乐趣的同时,也能开怀大笑。
这次航行极大地提升了我的驾船技能(在码头驾驶别人37英尺的昂贵游艇时,我总是很紧张),而且我们还沿着海岸线和海湾进行了精彩的航行。船上的船员技能和经验各不相同,但马克让每个人都感到宾至如归,并确保每个人都有机会尝试新事物,同时也能练习和提高。
这精彩的一周让我对自己的船更有信心了。我肯定会回来参加沿海船长课程。
炎热、阳光明媚、微风习习、海水清澈湛蓝,而且距离英国只有很短的飞行距离——再加上一支优秀的团队,你为什么还要去其他地方呢?
