Description

This episode explores the often-overlooked skill of line-of-sight navigation — using what you can see to stay aware of your surroundings and make confident decisions on the water.


Neil shares how visual references, such as headlands, islands, and transits, remain just as relevant today, even with modern chart plotters and GNSS. It’s a reminder that keeping your head up and eyes out of the boat adds a vital layer of situational awareness that technology can’t replace.
