点评:I came to Sailing Virgins with almost 25 years as the owner, captain and mostly solo sailor of a vintage 30 foot monohull. Yet I knew that it was time for me to access and upgrade my skills. This is why I chose Sailing Virgins for their week of ASA 103, 104 and 114 training in the seas from their St. Martin base.
Every day as we shared our evening meal each of us our HIGHS and LOWS for the sailing day just completed.
HIGHS… besides on the last day I finally was able to demonstrate my improved sailing skills and even get the MOB exercise right on first try overall my total experience was a HIGH. Every single morning waking up to beautiful blue skies, warm breezes and ready for a new day of learning and adventure. Giacomo and Gegio as our captain and skipper exceeded expectations with professionalism, patience and care to create the opportunity learn and become a better, safer and more confident sailor, with improved and new skills learning the new experience of how to sail a catamaran in the Caribbean seas. I’m grateful to be present on this magic week on the water with Giacomo and Gegio and my fellow sailors. All together we along with Giacomo and Gegio in their own special way created a happy vibe that felt more like family together the week we all shared.
LOWS- if there were any, they were the best opportunities to learn to be better!
BRAVO Giacomo and Gegio!
翻译:我拥有近25年的航海经验,既是30英尺老式单体帆船的船主和船长,也经常独自航行。但我知道是时候提升我的航海技能了。因此,我选择了Sailing Virgins,参加他们位于圣马丁岛基地的为期一周的ASA 103、104和114海上培训课程。
每天晚上,我们一起享用晚餐,分享当天航行中的精彩瞬间和不足之处。
精彩之处……除了最后一天我终于能够展示自己进步的航海技能,甚至第一次就成功完成了落水人员救援演练之外,我的整个体验都非常棒。每天清晨醒来,迎接我的都是美丽的蓝天、温暖的微风,准备迎接新一天的学习和冒险。船长Giacomo和Gegio展现了超出预期的专业精神、耐心和细致,为我们创造了学习和提升航海技能的机会,让我们成为更优秀、更安全、更自信的水手,并掌握了在加勒比海驾驶双体船的全新体验。我很荣幸能与Giacomo、Gegio以及其他水手们一起度过这神奇的一周。我们所有人,包括Giacomo和Gegio,都以他们独特的方式营造了一种快乐的氛围,让我们感觉像一家人一样。
如果说有什么不足之处,那也是我们学习进步的最佳契机!
Giacomo和Gegio,太棒了!
