This is an exercise presented in the NauticEd Coastal Navigation course.  The Coastal Navigation course is loaded with practical exercises as well as a complete discussion of the theory. The course follows the United States Coast Guard Captain’s license navigation requirements where you will learn this important skill and dozens of other skills. Passing the Coastal Navigation course is also required in order to gain the new SLC™ sailing license which is now accepted by European countries. View the SLC here
