Oh My,
Teaching in ASA? I really don't think so. Just to many unknowns.
You can't teach "Higher Math" to some one who doesn't understand
division.
Teaching sail trim in a narrow channel, with a opposing tide, while
tacking frequently isn't going to be very successful. If it is a
failure; it isn't the students failure. The fault is truly the
instructors.
That grounding was the Skipper Fault.
Why would a Skipper, who wouldn't take time to check his engine in open
water, even expect a crew to be content with waiting for a tide change?
Worst of all! Why would that Skipper lay the Blame on a untrained crew
member?
