To help us know where we are, and where we are headed, here is a view on the navigation and pilotage gear we carry on Tiburon:
- paper charts. So far we have sufficient charts to make Hervey Bay. Plan is to purchase more there, and more again as we go along, depending on where we decide to head.
- Beacon to Beacon, a maritime safety Qld publication that is a bit like a street directory for the water and covers Tweeds Heads to the Cape.
- NAVMAN Trackfish 6500 combination chartplotter and sonar, loaded with C-Map Max charts for the entire Australian east coast.
- liquid filled magnetic compass, mainly used for steering.
- telescope and monoculars.
- handheld GPS in the safety grab kit. Also useful if we are reconning in the dinghy e.g., finding a passge or anchorage in shoal areas.
- plotting gear such as roller ruler etc.
And to help with further knowledge we will take:
- Cruising the Coral Coast, Curtis
- various articles on areas of interest.
