Date:
Sat, 24/08/2019
Today we ran a navigation training session where each crew member was given a set of coordinates in decimal degrees (WGS84). They had to:
- convert those to degrees, minutes, seconds
- plot them on a chart
- measure the leg lengths
- calculate the time to run for each leg, based on known/fixed speed
- calculate course to steer for each leg in ยบ Magnetic
- execute the passage
This resulted in the following track log:
Turnout:
7 people
Total Volunteer Hours:
28
