Electronics are incredible… until they are not.

Join Ed Tillett of Waterway Guide for a live session on Navigating with Today’s Technologies.

Thursday, February 11

Ed will breakdown how to confidently use chartpotters, AIS, radar, and navigation apps without losing the fundamentals of good seamanship.
You’ll learn how to integrate your tools, build, smart, redundancy, and stay in control if systems fail. If you cruise race or plan longer passages, this one is worth your time.
