Passage Planning is a vital part of the cruising adventure. We’ve included some useful Passage Planning links, to start you off.
It doesn’t need to be arduous, but you do need to study charts, have backup plans, and brief everyone on board.
Emergency
When an emergency hits, you won’t have time to read through details, find radio channels or phone numbers, discuss what everyone should do immediately.
You need to plan.
