Introduction to Navigation
How do we plan our trips? What would you do if the fog rolls in while you are paddling? For those paddlers planning trips on the ocean, a complete understanding of navigation is essential for both safety and fun.
This two-hour classroom session covers the fundamentals of reading nautical charts, working with a compass, and dead reckoning. We then integrate that information with important components of trip planning, like the use of tide and current tables, route planning, and assessment of weather.
Introduction to Navigation is a hands-on course where each student will have the opportunity to practice these skills in the classroom before they venture into the field. Be sure to follow up this class with our Ocean Skills: Navigation trip, where you can test your skills on the water under the guidance of an expert paddler.
Introduction to Navigation meets for one 2-hour session at our Newton Boathouse.
$30 includes two hours of classroom instruction and all required materials.
$19 with enrollment in another 2010 class or trip, including our Ocean Skills: Navigation trip.
