Module 14 - Passage Planning
Appraise
Gather all the information you need: weather forecast, tidal predictions, chart analysis, port information, crew experience, and vessel capability. Identify potential hazards along the route — rocks, shoals, traffic separation schemes, firing ranges, race areas.
Check the almanac for port entry requirements, harbour radio frequencies, opening times for locks or bridges, and any local regulations. Consider the crew — are they experienced enough for the passage? Is anyone likely to be seasick?
