Coastal Navigation Class

As part of the Southwest Kayak Symposium, I took a full day couseon Coastal Navigation taught by Sean Morley. There were eight of us in the class. The class is a requirement for a BCU 4 Star award.



The course was fantastic as we worked our way through learning about reading charts, weather, the rule of thirds and so much more.



We spent lots of time pouring over various charts and tide and current charts.



My final exam was planning a trip around Martha's Vineyard. We had lots if interesting decision points to address; Go-No Go points, escape plans, among other things. It was a great course and can't wait to apply the lessons learned to the water!
