Navigating Through the Night - Lessons from a 70 mile nonstop paddle race
DESCRIPTION:
Keen navigation was key to completing the Seventy48 human-powered boat race in Puget Sound. Charles Loos completed the 70 miles in 20 hours, including a full night on the oars in a 90-pound wooden boat. Charles will discuss his use of GPS, compass and VHF radio to navigate, and how you can apply these methods to your own long-distance trips.
BIO:
Charles is a lifelong waterman with a background in fishing, boatbuilding, power boating, and extreme endurance rowing. An engineer by training, he now teaches recreational captains how to judge forecasts, cross the bar and take their boats onto the ocean with skill and confidence. https://www.theoceancoach.com/
