Module 14 - Passage Planning

Execute Phase

Follow the plan, but remain flexible. Keep a navigational log: record course, speed, log reading, and position fixes at regular intervals (at least hourly). Cross-check GPS positions with visual observations. Maintain a proper look-out at all times.

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