Line of sight navigation

2025-11-16

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.
