Synopsis

Here is a revolutionary, simple, and practical method of coastal piloting. At the heart of the system is visual navigation with emphasis on using land formation and navards to determine a boat's position. In clear, lively prose, Eyges unfolds the system step by step. There are also valuable new insights on reading charts, adjusting a compass, and avoiding collisions.
