The course will be taught by Scott Smith, a retired U.S. Coast Guard commander. More accurate than charts, GPS is one of the most important tools available to today's mariner. In the very near future, GPS will replace most other navigation systems. GPS units will be available for students to use.
Participants are also welcome to bring their own unit to the workshop if they wish.
