A handy, splash-proof, on-the-water reference guide to writing a clear and logical passage plan for a sea voyage, covering routing, pilotage, points of departure, landfalls, weather, tides, currents, safe havens, lights, communications, watchkeeping, safety, rations, fuel supplies, stowage and briefing. A passage plan is much more than routeing information. It covers every aspect of a voyage with the aim of preparing both ship and crew so that the passage is made in a safe, seamanlike and enjoyable manner. Place this book alongside a sheet of blank paper and prepare your plan following the headings.
A handy, splash-proof aide memoir with all the weather information people find hard to remember such as Sea Areas, Coastal Stations, cloud systems, how to predict the weather around lows and highs, times of broadcasts and the terms used in broadcasts. The perfect book to keep onboard as a reference guide. Made from splash proof paper means these guides can be used at any moment and then easily stored in your pocket.
A handy, splash-proof, on-the-water reference guide for every calculation needed for coastal and offshore navigation, plus all the frequently needed (but often forgotten) equations and formulae needed afloat. Each topic is followed by a worked example, and line drawings to illustrate the process. It is an aide-memoire, not a textbook. Explanations have been kept to a minimum and if you wish to see proofs then you must look elsewhere.
