What happens when your GPS fails? In this course, you will learn to use a marine sextant to take sights of celestial objects such as the sun. Even if you are not traveling long distances offshore, remember that GPS can fail and at times not be reliable. Ancient sailors traveled the globe without electronics and satellites. This course will build your confidence when no aids to navigation or land objects are in sight.
