• Maintainanaccurate record of thevessel’spositioneither by use of
aradio navigation receiver orvisual bearings.
• Maintaina continuous plot ofposition on a currentchart. Ensure
thelockedautopilot heading steers youclearofall obstacles. Make
properallowance for Tidal Set–the autopilot cannot!
• Evenwhen your autopilotis locked ontothe desired Trackusing a
radionavigation receiver, always maintaina log and makeregular
