Time Courses

Navigation

To run time courses is to consider the speed of the vessel, the course sailed, and the time run on such course. This is employed during fog when navigation in waters where it is necessary to change the course of the vessel occasionally in order to keep in the channel, to avoid certain dangers, etc.
