Ep 51: Navigation: Basic Plotting Part 2: The Running Fix

Welcome to Episode 51 of Carpe Diem Sailing. In this video, part 2 of Basic Plotting I take you through plotting a running fix and then confirm the fix with GPS. I demonstrate o a paper chart as well as with an animation. I'm always impressed by how accurate manual navigation can be, which inspires confidence during the inevitable electronic failure.

Please create a “binge from the beginning” playlist so we can watch all the episodes in order! :)

I’ve added this one to my Navigation playlist. Do you mean all the episodes on my channel?

Sir - that was the most difficult to understand video on the "running fix" - and I've been in Australia since 1982(I'm 44 years old- not a!language/communication issue)- in case you're wondering...

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

I’m sorry to hear that. The Running Fix is not that difficult to understand.
