Section 6
Getting Your Bearings
Navigation is largely a matter of establishing where you really
are from where you think you are. Taking and plotting
bearings plays an important part of finding where you really
are. The objective of this section is to learn to chart a position
from objects on land or in the water.
The section includes a Step by Step guide to take you
through the process of a two-bearing fix. Plot It! gives
you opportunities to practice plotting bearings. It will take
an hour or so to read this section and work through the exercises. This section covers Sail Canada's objectives 10b, 10c, 10d, and 16. |
