Plotting and Labeling Standards Learning Guide
How do you move your boat from here to there? Via the safest route?
In the least time? With accurate, consistent, and rock-solid knowledge
of your position? And, how can you reconstruct and repeat your passage,
or tell the oncoming watch the course to steer, speed to make, and bearings to
take? Plotting and labeling your course using standard symbols, labels,
and abbreviations is the way to go. In easy-to-understand form, here they
are and how to use them.
