Basic Navigation/Rules of the Road

Commander Dave Smith shows you the basic aids to navigation: buoys, light, ranges, structural charts, as well as where to purchase and how to read them. Also covered are symbols how to find out where you are by means of visual fix, line of position, dumb compass, triangulation and depth contours; and how to determine speed by chip log, and much more. For the beginning boater and a good refresher course for the intermediate and advanced boater.
