We have left only the next week this term. Today, we had the second day of day skipper. It is mostly new for me that we learned. Lance and Andrew looks to be reasonably familiar with those terms and knowledge. Theoretical class is more difficult than having practical ones but I have to challenge it. I will look deeply into the book this weekend.
terms
- Underwater spout (a symbol looks like a fountain, representing underwater spout)
- overfall (like a cliff that got suddenly deep)
- priority of the right way (shark(kidding^^)>fishing boat>swimmer>rowing boat>yacht under sail>yacht under power>ship)
- sector light (red-unsafe and not good condition below the water/white-safe and good)
- leading light (red/white/green – keep your way in the white light section leading towards onshore)
- wash (marine term - broken wave)
- continual line (isobar line is one type of it)
- divider (similar to compass, handle by one hand to be designed available in freezing weather)

- H(high atmospheric pressure) = fine weather/ L(low atmospheric pressure) = rough weather
- H make the sea flat because the air push it, L make the sea free so that makes wave

- swell
- crossing bars (? - http://www.clubmarine.com.au/internet/clubmarine.nsf/docs/mg17-6+technical)
