Navigation

We made a start on the navigation last night and by midnight we had only got as far as Bangor!!! What a huge task - didn't expect it to be such a slog. We are plotting every waypoint for every leg as well as calculating tidal flows, conditions off headlands etc. We both know that we have to put in the hours now. On the boat we have a Garmin GPS map with integrated radar and we have a handheld GPS backup. We have to manually put the waypoints into both - aaahhhh!!! So guess what we are doing tonight and tomorrow night?
