Navigating roadways and waterways is not the same. If you’re comfortable using GPS for car trips, don’t assume you’re automatically ready to use GPS on a boat. This seminar will help you learn some of the differences. You’ll get an overview of how to use electronic (and even paper) charts to plan a safe route with waypoints, how to navigate along the route, and how to check underway that you’re on course. Topics include:
How to choose a suitable boat for the type of cruising you do. Owning versus chartering. Equipping the boat with appropriate navigation, electrical, and plumbing systems, and more.
