Illustrated throughout, this book takes a complete beginner through every step in flight-plan navigation - taking a boat at speed (25 knots) accurately from point A to point B. The book explains how wind and tide affect speed and direction, how to think and act quickly and what to do when you are lost. It includes chapters on compasses and charts, leeway, drift and tidal atlases, position lines, transits and navigational aids, pilotage, buoys and making a safe landfall as well as planning a passage.
