Celestial Navigation
Why would anyone want to invest time and money in learning the art and science of celestial navigation when we can easily buy a GPS for a couple of hundred bucks?
Here are some of the reasons
- It is an art and a science and consequently it is interesting to learn and practice.
- It's requires skill; anyone can read lat & long from a GPS.
There are however other things you can do with GPS. Do you want to now more? - It's reliable and does not need batteries.
We have all the necessary training equipment including sextants.
As this is a classroom based course we tend to run it only during the winter months. We will organize a course at other times if there is enough demand. There is lots of hands-on examples and graduates are encouraged to sign up for some on-the-water practice during the season.
