a Short Course on Nautical Charts and Basic Plotting
Year: 2021 Language: english Author: Gary C. Kessler Genre: Reference book Edition: 8.3a (26 August 2021) Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 82 Description: This manual is intended for the recreational boater who wants to understand the elements of the nautical charts that we employ to learn how to navigate through a body of water, the wealth of additional information available about our waterways, and how to perform basic navigation and plotting tasks. In addition, the general books to which recreational boaters are often directed are excellent in many ways but rarely tackle the subject of even simple plotting. The focus of this document is on printed charts as well as reading and plotting using hand tools. Marine electronics make a lot of these tasks automatic, but I have always taken the posture that people need to know the basic process behind what our automated and computer-based tools are telling us. In that spirit, I offer this tutorial. Hopefully, readers will be inspired to read some of the more excellent, in-depth texts referenced at the end of this paper. :
