Sunday Morning Workshops, February 6 (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM)
Electronic Navigation & RADAR
For centuries mariners never really know where they were. Nowadays we not only know our exact position, but the world of modern electronics can tell us who and what is near us, how close they will come, what weather is over the horizon and will even steer the boat home. With such sophistication in the electronic world some training is necessary to make sense of it all. This workshop will tackle the alphabet soup of modern navigational electronics and offer interactive exercises on RADAR screen interpretation and the use of chart plotter technology to enhance the skipper's situational awareness.

Handling Onboard Emergencies
Emergencies come quickly and unexpectedly on the water. Most are the result of a chain of events that starts before the boat even leaves the dock. Handling such a situation onboard involves breaking the chain at any point. Former Coastie and instructor, Matt Benhoff of Annapolis School of Seamanship will run through some typical emergency scenarios and how to prevent them as well as respond to them should they happen to you. Hands-On exercises and demonstrations with inflatable life preservers and training fire extinguishers are just a few of the interactive features of this workshop.
