    Long time reader, first time commenter — so,
    thought I’d drop a comment.. — and at the same time ask for a favor.

    Your wordpress site is very simplistic – hope you don’t
    mind me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind
    if I steal it? :P)

    I just launched my small businesses site –also built in wordpress like
    yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.

    In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback)

    Keep up the good work– and take care of yourself during
    the coronavirus scare!

    Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the
    same topics? Many thanks!

Blog is primarily for candidates appearing for certificate of competency exams but such is the detail that while being equally suitable for the beginner, it is also reference work for experienced seaman, and the layout and style of blog make it suitable for shipboard training where practical experience can be allied to the theoretical approach.
