Riassunto:

Tap into the source and stay on course! This definitive guide for navigators contains all the information kayakers need to paddle the seas safely and confidently. 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. Electronic navigation is also discussed, including GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers, which allow a kayaker to pinpoint his or her position anywhere on the globe with amazing accuracy.
