This is a beginner-friendly explanation designed to be easy to remember and simple to understand — perfect if you’re learning to read charts, understand GPS positions, or just starting your sailing journey. 👉 Watch the full video for a deeper breakdown and more beginner sailing tips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m_ivNgwExI&list=PLQOqsyzQgrHPTNxLsHmvyKZl4iNs7mYwZ&index=8 #SailingForBeginners #SailingNavigation #LearnToSail #Latitude #Equator #BeginnerSailor #SailingBasics #SailingEducation #NauticalKnowledge
While heading down the coast, we were taken by surprise by calls on the VHF regarding a Prohibited Zone around Cape Canaveral. Apparently, we were scheduled to hit Cape Canaveral right at the same time they closed down the zones for transit. What!? What were the zones? Where were the zones? Were we in one!? We ultimately determined, using Starlink!!!, where the zones were and that ultimately we were fine...but, this was after we turned around 180º and added another 2-hours to our trip south. Oh Well.
