Navigation, Boating Safety & Trip Planning
Add a new and important dimension to your kayak touring with our Navigation course. This is one of our few programs with classroom sessions, filled with hands-on projects and exercises. You will work with charts, a plotter, a divider, a parallel ruler and a compass. At your worktable, you will have lots of opportunity to practice exercises and real world problems. The skills are broken down into easily mastered steps. We will finish the class by planning and taking a day trip to practice your new skills! It’s fun and rewarding! "I couldn’t imagine going sea kayaking without first taking this class,” an enthusiastic student emphasized.
