Celestial Navigation in a Nutshell Webinar – October 14th

Celestial Navigation Seminar

Sept 24, 2020

This seminar on this traditional and reliable offshore navigation method, was written by a skilled navigator, for the boater who wants to do some serious offshore cruising, maybe even challenge a transoceanic crossing, and needs a Plan B to back up his electronic navigation equipment. While by no means a full celestial navigation course, this is an excellent introduction to the two celestial navigation courses offered by Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons and covers all the basics.

This seminar will be presented by our experienced boaters with time for you ask your questions.
