I also had issues with getting the books. It took a very long time ( 1.5 months) and a couple of follow up mails to push them to send the books. Needless to say they took the money in 24h after the order.
No have not had problems - mostly seems like the company you did the course with was the problem ? on the upside the 101-103-104 is also your gateway for the IPC international certificate. BTW. reach - wording can go many ways - in the end - its about that we sail according to the wind, we go closer, higher, tighter, into, head-up.. or fall-off, etc etc. I find one of the bigger problems when having guests on the boat, is getting to work according to the wind over the coast around them, compass, even the boot.. :-)
I am the owner of Go Baja Sailing. ASA was going through a transition in the shipping department. We order the books through ASA and the shipping department drop ships to the student UPS. ASA for a 6 month period was really doing a bad job. Sending 2 of the same books forgetting books they went through a period where they ran out of books it was not fun. We have always given the students the option of downloading the books so students can study then receive the books when they arrive. For the last 8 months since they subcontracted the duty to a sub contractor it has been flawless. Just a clarification as you clearly do not know the procedure a ASA school goes through getting students the course material.
The affiliates (schools) are in charge of shipping all the books to you. They receive boxes of books from American Sailing and then ship them to the students. So this is more likely a GoBaja Sailing problem than an American Sailing problem. Now would the affiliates like this done automatically by American Sailing, and would this fix the problems with shipping you had?
@@TrailguidePictures you, certainly, were critical of the publisher's typo. Even mentioning editing once the material was completed. As an video editor, I find it easy to miss a typo too. I think Bree was pointing out the irony. Your dismissive reply was a miss step. Maybe making a cute joke about your error wouldve been the move. I saw the typo and leaped into the comments to point it out in a joking way - until I saw this exchange. Now, I have a clearer understanding of your personality. (I only watched your ASA videos to this point)

No, I was corresponding with the person in charge of shipping the books at ASA. Their email identified where they were writing from

Thank you too

8:10 You were criticizing someone else's typos shortly before.
I don’t think I criticized anyone’s typos but thanks for the comment

BTW - "tight & open" reach are acceptable terms. 11:03 😅
@@basicinfoplaybook for what?
@@TrailguidePictures to be used to describe a point of sail. "tight reach" / "open reach".
Dewd, youre terrible. Your personality sucks.
