Nav class Thursdays 7/19/07

The Coastal Navigation course is starting soon. Classes will be held on 6 consecutive Thursday evenings starting at 7:00 p.m. Students will learn all the skills necessary for ASA Coastal Navigation certification (included) and will become familiar with Bay Area sailing region as well.
