I have been invited to give a one-hour presentation on celestial navigation. The people asking me are no more specific than that in their agenda.
The audience will be 30 sailors, of whom 3 or 4 will have had opportunities to sail offshore before - though none of them will have ever used sextant. The balance of the room will be coastal sailors (a few of whom own boats; the majority will charter), who *dream* of someday sailing offshore.
I have given people 30-second descriptions of celestial navigation. I have instructed a 15 hour course in celestial, that included an 12 hour extension for those who wanted to write the Sail Canada exam.
What I have NOT done is anything in between. I would appreciate counsel on what to do with an hour-long presentation.
Thanks so much for your help!
Bob
