Infos

Navigators have only two questions: "Where am I?" and "Where do I go now?". This book shows the simplest way to answer these questions. It starts from scratch, uses no jargon and features graphics instead of words wherever possible. Areas covered include charts, giving a position, tides, course to steer, passage planning, and much more. Navigation is fun, keeps you safe and speeds you to your destination. With this book you need never be lost again!
