Seminar
Kayak Navigation 2.0- Compass work and Currents compensation - Kitsap Lake
This short clinic will review how to sight a compass bearing and draw a line of position on the chart, how to create a bearing on a chart and translate that to a compass bearing on the kayak. Then we will practice using graphical vector analysis to plan trips with currents in the crossing.
