Also instructors is old seafarers and they have oldfashioned minds in ways of navigation and ways of using equipment. Also they put our vessels in separations or sallow waters with full speed and very big vessels like a vlcc of 200.000 tones displacement. I think that you can understand problem in Greek academies! Have a nice day.
