NOTICE 2012 LMYC Training session begins
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:
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

9. Bearings vs Headings.
10. Navigation at night and in close quarters.
11. Sound and light
12. Barges and traffic
13. Online and Print Resources
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,
John Pinkerman
