Not included are alcoholic beverages, personal safety equipment, expenses incurred off the boat, sextant, tables and books. Due to the nature of this course there is no textbook. We will send you a reading list, some of which you probably already have.

There are reasonable accommodations within walking distance of our facility. Lodging will be provided on the boat in Bermuda, but you will be responsible for meals during the Celestial Navigation clinic.

The captain/instructor will be Ted Wheeler, our head instructor, expert sailor, talented musician and easygoing shipmate. Capt Ted has extensive offshore experience, including four passages to Bermuda, numerous trips to or from the Caribbean and a Transatlantic crossing.
