Celestial Navigation Class Coming in September

Ever wonder how those ancient mariners found their way about the globe using only compass, timepiece and sextant? Capt. Sanders will guide you through this mysterious and complicated process by breaking down the subject into bite size fat free recipes he has created and uses in his text: "Bag's Sightings: A Celestial Cookbook". You will learn to take sightings with a sextant of the sun, moon, stars and planets, and plot your position. Capt. Sanders' book is included and practice sextants are provided. A basic knowledge of longitude and latitude plotting is helpful, but not essential. There will be one Saturday (a sunny one!) field trip to practice your newfound skills upon the water.
