Text of the page (random words):
not lend itself to correction easily using the old gregorian method it s wickedly tedious but the method to update this publication needn t be so overwhelming the ntm is not the publication of choice for me for correcting the light list what s that you say well the uscg publishes a cumulative summary of corrections for each volume of the ll basically every correction for volume 1 of the light list is compiled into a regularly updated archive available for download and saving just like the ntm but each archive is dedicated to its respective volume from the date the volume is published to the most recent ntm each volume s corrections are compiled as they appeared in each ntm so i can go to the navcen website and download all of light list volume 1 corrections and save it each month as i can for every volume of the light list offered by the national ocean service and uscg the archive found on the update page always carries the same name for each volume number unlike the ntm which necessarily increases 01 09 to 52 09 as the weeks go by volume 1 s summary will always be named v1d01 pdf when you download the newest archive it will prompt your browser to ask if you wish to overwrite the old file and of course you will select yes you now have the latest correction summary for light list 1 since it was published 1 at this point you only need to make one mark in the light list and that is to note the ntm that your archive is current with in the record of change in the front of the book and after you ve done that you can close the book now we dip our toes into the 21st century 2 if you find yourself referring to the ll the same method as always is used to identify any aid by its ll once you locate the aid you want or the place where it should be listed the original date of publish info is all you have how do you know the information is current if there aren t any physical corrections in the book the summary of correction archive contains a copy of every vol1 correction page printed in the ntm since the vol 1 publish date from low to high in the case of ll1 from 51 08 at the bottom of the list to 25 09 at the top it should be noted that there may be multiple corrections for your query check the entire summary for the aid in question 3 once the aid in question has been found in the ll the archive is scanned from the bottom to the top of the list for the same ll 3a if you don t find the ll for the aid your looking at the book is the latest information available for that aid 3b if you do find the ll in the archive you ll need to scan the entire summary for any other incidence of that number if you have found the ll of your aid in the summary that information will be the most current and correct you need to remember as well that new sub sets may have added so a scan above and below the specific aid s ll you re referencing is in order so instead of spending hours of your life writing corrections into this publication you ve spent five minutes scanning an archive to find what you need take a look at this method if you would like to discuss it further drop me a line light list summary links volume 1 first district volume 2 fifth district volume 3 seventh district volume 4 eighth district gom volume 5 eighth district wr volume 6 eleventh district volume 7 ninth district share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook

velocity data for the gulf of mexico and gulf stream july 22 2014 by captbbrucato i ve been working in the g o m for the last 16 months or so and regularly find myself making that long transit from the dry tortugas to the southwest pass of the mississippi river the trip is more or less a great circle extending 400 nm the first few times i made the crossing i noted that i would have an extreme crab angle due to the influence of the current known simply as the loop aka a parent source of the gulf stream sometimes i d be steering upwards of 15 degrees into the current in order to make good my charted course and struggling to make any real speed sliding across the gulf is the rule there s little doubt that this is old news to the guys who have been working the gulf for years but it was a real surprise to me i mean i expected different but not to this degree banging up against the gulf stream makes for slow going no real mystery there and running with the stream is amazing in that your speed exceeds anything you thought the boat could do but the loop the loop is a current in the gulf of mexico and flows at greater or lesser velocities as the seasons change it is known to meander widely and is formidable enough to knock more than 3 to 4 knots off your speed meander is a gentle way of putting it one watch you re cruising nicely next you re wondering if the wheels fell off it s seems to be all over the place but with satellite imagery and telemetric magic it can be tracked and if it can be tracked it can be planned for soooo for those of you who know all about this need read no further unless you d like to proof my work in which case i will gladly accept any additional clarifying data you d wish to provide the information one needs in order to visualize and to take advantage of or steer around this current has been available but the resource available in the form of pilot charts only gives a general overview of the current by the month honestly i didn t find them all that helpful my colleague gave me this link that provides just the kind of data you can use the site is paid for by our tax dollars and in my opinion money well spent you ll need to make certain your security settings in your browser allow java applets to run the initial page gives you the overview which you can select a geographic area and what you d like to see if you just want velocities click it if you want to save the data as an image select gif format the smaller the geographic area the easier you ll be able to interpolate the lat and lon grid i use ms paint to overlay the more detailed lat lon grid it s a bit tedious but yields an reasonably accurate grid to pick off waypoints note the red grid over the gulf you can resize it as you wish and pick the day average as well i usually use a 3 day average once you ve made your selection choose gif if you want to save the image after that you can eyeball the route you want to take and then identify the waypoints you ll need to hit to go around the adverse current or to take advantage of a following current this link has been updated this will assist in selecting a course around the higher velocities and hopefully save some time on your next transit sometimes a few miles out of the way can save more than a few hours an all important option when it s close to crew change after all that is the most important consideration just sayin share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook print opens in new window print email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on x opens in new window x

as you may have read in previous posts i wanted to try the online experience for my radar renewal it did not go well i signed up paid 225 00 and received my study material and then proceeded to work myself back up to a passing proficiency for rapid radar plotting i took a couple of months made an appointment at the nearest prometric testing center and believing i was ready scheduled and sat for my renewal all went well up to this point the facility is clean well organized and strict i arrived early and was processed quickly the exam was straightforward enough once you get settled in at your exam station the computer program is loaded and a timer promptly begins with your radar scenario there was the first part of roughly ten questions regarding theory and then the plots i had no difficulty with theory and scored 100 you get two shots at the plotting section it s a normal three target screen you need only identify the most dangerous target and proceed with your plot i must add the timer is a bit unnerving if you fail the first time it gives you the opportunity to select and proceed with a second chance different set of plots and you fly or fall at the end of the scenario i failed both my attempts on the exam and felt more than a bit embarrassed seeing as i had never not passed what we ve all come to see as a less than useful skill since the advent of a r p a and modern radar systems i must admit that the failure was likely my fault due to my time management or lack thereof and perhaps a careless error the plots are time sensitive and you re only allowed three minutes to solve for ntcpa and new course i overran the time limit first time out after the exam i noted in the instructions on this particular exam that there was no specific time for mx expressly indicated the instructions for mx or time of execution were included in the practice instructions but absent in the actual exam instructions this isn t an excuse since after the fact i found the instructions in the practice material clearly indicated that the exam s execution point was to be at 12 minutes i missed that somehow okay so i failed i was more than a bit upset i have never failed this recert but i guess there s a first time for everything no amount of post failure negotiation was sufficient to convince the proctors of the center to help and the online school was adamant that in order to retest i d have to pony up another 225 00 and reschedule i didn t elect to take them up on it instead i called suny maritime and scheduled my one day renewal at a brick and mortar school i paid the fee 325 00 and practiced the material they sent and showed up in the bronx for the recert like i ve done in the past the experience was easier in that i had an instructor on site that understood the material he could see which of us in class were comfortable and possessed the skill set and helped guide those who were a bit shaky during the morning practice session and boosted their confidence level that alone means a lot to anyone who s uncomfortable in exam situations you re not handed the cert it s challenging and you earn it but that said having the class in a place where it s a familiar curricula helps online courses are fine but you re strictly on your own at the center after you are scanned frisked and asked to empty your pockets no one can or may assist you in any way i passed suny s recert program as expected and left to deal with the gauntlet that is the ny area s traffic to get home in closing if you re absolutely certain and speedy with rapid radar plotting you should give the online experience a go if you re like me go to a school where an instructor can kick you back inside the lines of competency and get you through this every 5 year p i t a i have a couple more times i have to submit to this ordeal and you can be sure it will be at a brick and mortar school from here on share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook print opens in new

industry the final rule will bring us mariners kicking and screaming into compliance with the imo convention more info to come once the nvics start flying expect confusion anxiety and more training requirements the best way to survive this transition period ending with full compliance expected in 2017 is to pay close attention to the next batch of nvics then open your calendar and your wallet

this time using the calhoon meba engineering school distance learning program when i wrote the last article describing this new way to handle training and re certification i said that i would be giving this a try as my renewal date approached i should say that my first attempt at finding and registering for the course was slightly side tracked by the fact that i thought i would be using the prometric portal well let s say that after a few calls to an endless loop of phone menu items and toll free calls including one to somewhere in southeast asia i found my way by calling the calhoon meba school directly and spoke to a nice young woman named lisa mc neil 410 822 9600 ext 322 i was able to ask all my questions and get answers from a real human being and i was set right in short order so here s the deal as i understand it any mariner can apply for their radar re cert with this school you do not have to be a member of meba follow this link to their home page hover your mouse over the online courses menu item and check out the drop down menu read everything then fill out your application select your course and pay the lady you ll receive an email with confirmation and then you ll have to allow a day for processing the order you will receive an email confirming your registration and access to the study material and also more importantly your login and access to the instructors for any questions you might have via email in the information link it states you have a month but the conversation i had with ms mcneil made it clear that i could study longer if necessary and not have any problem ms mcneil can offer more info if you need more time once you have registered and been accepted you will be given the key to the online course material and practice with it as often as you like the online course and testing material comes from the same source used at the prometric center on your exam day...
