Is anyone out there using the RYA Navigation Exercises Book to assist in their Day Skipper/Yachtmaster Theory?
I bought it a few weeks ago so that I could get some additional practice.
this weekend I was manfully working through section 8 - Tidal Streams and Heights. Question 8.11 is about Tidal heights ant Secondary ports and on 8.11a and 8.11b they have got the bloody answers wrong!!! - They have crossed over the times for HW and LW.
If they can't get it right what chance do we poor students have - perhaps I should stick to the Lake!!
Also can anyone explain why on the Chichester Tide thread two correspondents had differing figure for the date in question (27th December I think). Low water varied by 1/2 metre which could be critical at LW I would have thought. Do different almanacs/sources have different figures or did one of the posters get it wrong?
