Posted by seakayakingdotnet on 15th July 2009
An eight-minute podcast describing how to recognize lighthouses on nautical charts and read their descriptions. Good for sea kayakers looking to navigate in daylight or darkness.
Learning to read charts and recognize lighthouses is a valuable sea kayaking skill.
For visuals on lighthouse symbols and codes, download NOAA Chart 1, the index of symbols. Or download any NOAA chart and look for a lavendar exclamation point symbol. That’s a lighthouse. Next to to the symbol you will see a code.
