Section 1
Getting Started
This section introduces you to the subject of finding your way
safely along a coastline. It begins with some of the fundamental
principles of navigation and describes how important marine publications
and certain tools are used by navigators. The objective is to explain
these core items clearly and in sufficient detail for you to be
comfortable with them, and to know how to put them to use on your
boat.
It should take about an hour to read this section and another few
minutes to answer the Test Yourself questions at the end. Section
1 covers performance objectives 2, 3 and 4 of the ASA's coastal
navigation standard.
