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 select an anchor, line, and other gear…choose a suitable anchorage, deploy and set an anchor, what to do if it’s stuck, how to pick up a mooring, and raft with other boats.
