50 Ways to Improve your Navigation By Dag Pike
So youve bought the boat and got the ticket, but what about some practical techniques on making navigation easier? This is the book that can smooth many wrinkles which might otherwise only get ironed out after many years experience on the water. For example, how many times have you started a new season trying to remember the mnemonic
for true and magnetic use of the compass and charts?
There is a simple chapter on this subject, which is a great aide-memoire. Likewise with visual and electronic navigation, the use of depths, tides and currents, making safe landfalls and navigation within harbours. It also
has commendably simple diagrams.
Verdict: A handy, simple guide to some essential navigational skills
