I came across a series of short YouTube videos made by John Rousmaniere. I know they are just "shorts" of his video for sale, but it was informative just the same.

John Rousmaniere (Roo - man - ear) has several other books too. He writes quite well and is very outspoken about safety. Anything with his name on it worth the time to read.

A lot of it is like looking at the back of my hand since I used to be a flight instructor who also taught ground school where navigation is one of the topics.

Well those skill all pay off well. North is still where it used to be. The charts are bit different but not in ways you can't pick up quickly. Navigation involves math many never really understand.
Looking back all of the books suggested are rick solid standards 4 of which I have and keep on the boat and take home over the winter.
The other books to suggest include the text books used by US Sail and ASA schools here in the US. They cover many topics in a simple fashion but do get to the fundamentals in language that is easy to follow. Beginner books can often get you over the terminology hump so the more advanced books make sense.
