Advanced Navigation Field Work
Posted by admin on September 16, 2010
Theoretical and practical approaches explored – including a review of detail chart reading, course plotting, set and drift calculations, piloting & dead reckoning, transits and ranges, understanding marine forecasts and their effect on the sea state. The majority of the course will focus on practical, on water navigation. Figure out what methods work and those which don’t while in your kayak. For those with the daytime basics down, this course can also be geared towards low visibility navigation – fog or night paddling.
A must do course to get ready for BCU 4 and 5 star as well as ACA level 5 or Expedition Training.
Exploring night nav for the first time.
