Our third rotation day in a row consisted of man overboard under sail aboard our fifty footers, waterskiing, navigation lecture, and the Vega's third confined water dive of four, and the Carinas and Barracudas underwater naturalist specialist dive. The Carinas and Barracudas (advanced students) completed a night dive. Today's activities in more detail: today we rotated by boat (Wind Whisper, Watermelon, etc), not by group (Vega, advanced). Wind Whisper rotation one: man overboard (MOB) under sail was completely different from motor, and we also learned that this should be on the practical for our IYT cert. Wind Whisper rotation two: waterskiing, etc. The third time we went this session, nothing quite interesting to report. Wind Whisper rotation three: navigation lecture was important for any form of GPS failure. To correct a course we learned to use the chart instruments, though many of us acted like they were toys. Wind Whisper rotation four: dive: Vega: confined water dive three of four: advanced: underwater naturalist specialty dive (identify five vertebrates, four invertebrates, and two plants). Wind Whisper rotation five: dive chat/dive: Vega: dive lecture: Carina: night dive one of one: Barracuda: night dive one of three. Conclusion: although this was our third rotation day it was very different from the others. The general consensus was that it was a good day.
