Practice preparing a passage plan including course, weather, current/tide considerations (workshop pre-work). Practice implementing the passage plan using a chart plotter and enroute weather reports. Practice navigation in restricted waters including approaches/departures. Review and practice visual navigation techniques. Undertake an offshore passage not less than 200 miles, with 2 overnighters.
We will undertake a passage across the Sea of Cortez, arriving in Bahia Concepcion for a day of recuperation, before returning across the Sea for the second leg of our offshore passagemaking.
