Navigation Systems

Alert 11, Spring 2024

Pam taught two sessions on “How to Contend with Electronic Charts” at the February Seattle Boat Show to about 80 members of the public.

AV Refreshers are planned for the evenings of April 16th and 24th via Zoom.

Alert: Be aware that we will lose our remaining Northwest District NOAA Raster charts in May-July. By that point, all boaters should be prepared to carry-out their navigation responsibilities with electronic products. Be sure to become knowledgeable about using your electronic navigation systems and keep them up to date.
