Note: Those who take the "on-land" class room seminar will have the priority to register for the "on the water" trip.
This course has no scheduled activities.
For the class you need a laptop, tablet or notebook. Cell phone is too small to do the work. You also need a protractor and drafting compass for measuring angle and distance. A parallel ruler or 2 triangle rulers.
For on the water, besides a kayak and all the paddling essentials you must have a marine compass and a watch. You also need a VHF radio to practice a call to Vessel Traffic Service (VTS)
