A brief sail aboard Star of India with nav processes explained laymen style.
However, although the cross staff was used as shown looking directly into the sun, I don't believe the astrolab or mariners lab was used as indicated with it held high and staring into the sun, but instead the shadow of the sun was used to get altitude info across its paddles.... Am I wrong or right?
I was surprised they did not speak of the Gunter quadrant.

Thank you.Yes, it is entertaining. It is just showing what someone needs to master to do it at any conditions. And of course nobody would look directly at the sun like they show. Use backsight. Anyway, they showed a lot of time-proven tools and to some general extend identify methods. Thanks to them. For 10 min. video they jst did great.
