Navigation Plotting is an essential skill for working in the maritime industry. This video is an introduction to some of those concepts. If you've spent lots of time on the water, but have not pursued a professional license, you should consider yourself a candidate for an Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV) 6-Pack license. This license allows you to charter vessels with up to 6 paying passenger and is the first step to a career in the maritime industry, full-time or part-time!

    I go to a maritime academy right now and i just wanted to say that Captain Medeiros is an absolutely excellent instructor much better than anybody ive ever had before. Captain Medeiros explains everything so clearly and I have watched all of these videos. Thank You

    This video is great. I'll go on board this September as a cadet and it teaches me well. However, 5:37 is closest to 5:40 .. at 16:00 in this video. But the answer will be the same. Thanks to the people who made this,specially to the instructor. More Power!

    When we know the range 2,7 ft, we use the 1/12 rule. First hour 1/12 (in this example), second hour 2/12, thrird 3/12, fourth 3/12, Fifth 2/12 and sixt 1/12. So at 09:14 we ad 2,7 x 1/12 (=0,22) to the 14,4 ft, makes 14,6 water depth at 09:14

    Another well explained Video Capt!. On table 3, Although our duration was solved for 05:37 and there was a 05:40 option you chose the 06:00 option. I was curious, however it was good to see that choosing either the 06:00 or 05:40 didnt make much difference. Thanks!

    Sir can I ask you a question? What if the height of tide in feet is negative, Should I add or subratct it to the charted depth? Im a marine student Sir i hope you can help me. 17ft is Charted depth and -1.2ft is the height of tide in feet, should I add them Sir?

    A bit puzzled. June 18, 2020. All very clear to me except I saw some negative depths given. In the UK and presumably everywhere else that means a drying height exposing hard nasty stuff to the minus figure. Which then threw me for the rest of your presentation. Help!

    negative 'depths' on a chart are indeed drying heights heights given in tide tables are relative to CD (Chart Datum) CD is normally approximately LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide) BUT tides can be weird - so a tide height of -0.1 would be 0.1 units BELOW CD but not necessarily drying e.g. if a harbour entrance has a chart-marked depth of 2m and there is an extreme spring tide low with a height of -0.1m then the depth of water at the entrance would be 1.9m (ignoring other factors that may affect height)

    Yeah, the negative just means lower than the Lower Low Mean Average from the last 19 years of Lower Low Tides. The Springs tides we get twice a month on the East Coast in US quite often “go negative”. It just means the water is lower than usual at low tide by that much for all the Charted Depths of that area. IE, at low tide with a -1ft for that day means Every charted depth number you see on that chart you will actually have 1ft less than that at Low Tide.

    Negative Numbers you subtract from Charted Depths on you Map. Positive numbers you Add to the Charted Depths on the Map. So if you are fishing at exactly where the Chart says 10ft of water, then that means that is the Average Low Tide depth at that location. So that mean the Water is only 10ft at low tide and the rest of the day deeper than that. At anytime of day you look at the Tide Tables then you Add any positive numbers given for the tide or subtract if negative to find the Actual depth for a Given Time of a Given Day.
