I used to mix up longitude and latitude. Then I read that latitude has 'tit' in it, and tits go from left to right. Now I remember the difference.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

😂 thanks now I will never forget it myself

[@toastedsandwich2474]

I did a sailing course a couple of years back and found your points of sail video most helpful. Next week I'm going to be learning navigation... Impeccable timing on this video 🤣👍

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

I love this channel for learning to sail. From a teaching perspective this is fantastic and loved this episode. Clearly you have a teaching background.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Hi Ed... thanks for watching and posting such a great review, much appreciated. I have been teaching watersports for the last 10 years, so that helps...

0° longitude is called the prime meridian. UTC and GMT are names for the time zone to the east of the prime meridian.

[@eriktumasyan5639]

Amazingly easy to absorb. Thank you!

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

extremely grateful, thank you

There's a mistake. We use meridians to measure Latitude, as Latitud is North or South from Equator. And we use paralels to measure Longitud, as we count from Greenwich to East or West.

[@jimloughlin5298]

Excellent, a straight forward way of explaining and easy to understand.

[@whackerjacker]

so if the compass was least would you deduct the 3 degrees from the 3.15 T?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Hi Patrick, if the variation in your area is east, then yes... variation is specific to the area. Also, you have added a point in your comment, looks like 3.15 whereas it is 315... If the variation is east, then yes, deduct the 3 degrees from 315

[@whackerjacker]

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 hey, thanks for the reply, not sure why I added a decmil point 🤣 but I get it now. Very educational videos, I've learnt loads in these two videos alone. Thanks
