Module 14 - Passage Planning

Execute Phase

Follow the plan, but remain flexible. Keep a navigational log at intervals matched to the risk: stable open water may justify hourly entries, while pilotage and nearby hazards require much more frequent fixes. Cross-check electronic positions and maintain a proper lookout.

Stick to the planned route unless you have a good reason to deviate. If you do deviate, update the plan and tell the crew.

  • Follow the plan — but be ready to adapt
  • Keep a nav log: course, speed, log reading, fixes
  • Cross-check GPS with visual observations
  • Log position at least every hour
