NOTICE 2012 LMYC Training session begins
Our first training session covers Coastal/Local Navigation with important techniques and skills to successfully make your way through local waters with increasing accuracy and minimal unplanned visits to mother earth. Mr. Jim Godfrey requested deferring his participation to the future pending some health related concerns. Therefore, we will be present and ready with an amended version. Saturday’s program will not last for six hours.
We will start at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, January 21st. at LMYC.
Lunch will be up to the attendees. We should finish by noon.
There will be a team of presenters covering several topics such as:
1. Local knowledge and charts
2. Dead Reckoning.
3. Navigation by depth sounder and radar.
4. Set and drift.
5. Buoys and Lights
6. Range Marks and reading the chart
7. 60 D ST
8. Charts and Planning
9. Bearings vs Headings.
10. Navigation at night and in close quarters.
11. Sound and light

Please bring your local charts. This is a timely session given the events in Italy last week. I recognize we can’t cover these topics in a comprehensive manner in just two hours but we can make it as useful and focused as we can.
Thank you,
