Day Skipper - Part 7 - Checking your plan

Having selected a series of waypoints it is necessary to check that the lines joining them do not pass over or near any potential navigational dangers (see Day Skipper 5, MBY January 1998).

Once you are satisfied that the planned tracks are safe, it is important to consider the effects of tide based upon the ETA at each waypoint, and adjust the True course between waypoints to take into account tidal effect (see Day Skipper 6, MBY February 1998).
