@sailing One of my goals for this year involves getting my SailCan coastal navigation + intermediate cruising certifications. Do any of you folks have advice on resources for learning the coastal nav stuff? I've heard that the "official" book & test is a bit of a mess. Incorrect info, incorrect *answers*. Looking for an improvement over that.

By all means, learn to sail without the toys.
Not only is it way more fun, but at least if the said toys fail you're not up the legendary creek with or without a paddle...
I still do everything by hand, and then double check with modern equipment for safety. Keeps the little grey cells active 🙂
