Mastering Coastal Navigation: Techniques Without GPS

Navigating Island Reefs Without GPS 🏝️⛵️😅

Coastal #Navigation is actually more dangerous than offshore, if you’re not paying attention to those depth contours, you could put your boat on the reef pretty quick!🪸

So how to we do this without GPS?

By using #Transits ⛰️

I can choose two prominent objects on my horizon, if I draw a straight line connecting them I know that I will be on that line! You can use anything! Different islands, palm trees, telephone poles etc

Use two transits at once to confirm your location!

Now you try!
