Nav Class put to use

As you can see from the pic, we really put our ASA 105 Coastal Navigation Class knowledge to use.
NOT!
We opted for not one but two Garmin GPS combined with our other ships instruments and some very kewl iPhone apps.
Which brings me to my next point....sailing iPhone apps are kewl and useful!
My new favorites as of this trip...
1. Weather USA - gives coast weather reports including synopsis, map and radar.
2. Navionics Marine -simple rocks. I used the US Central that covers the FL panhandle. As good as both Garmin GPS.
3. JourSail - electronic log book. Still learning but seems kewl.
4. Boaters Ref- all things boatie that you might have to look up like nav aids and list of lights.
5. AccuWeather - I just dig the radar on this app. Especially during tornado warnings. **Oh, pretty colors, D-oh!
6. Kindle for iPhone - Some legendary sailing stories are now available for free! Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor and Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum.
Check them out if you are a sailor.
**However we did have onboard paper charts and all the stuff to do coastal navigation if we needed.
