Novices and veterans alike will be able to chart an accurate course, whether on open water or between islands. Navigation basics are explained in full detail, including the essentials of chart reading, compass use, finding and keeping track of position, predicting tides and currents, trip planning, and navigating at night, in the fog, and in traffic.
