Bluewater Winter Sessions are a chance to dive deeper into sailing topics than we're often able to do on the water, and to get to know the program if you're new. The slides from certain sessions are below.

==Tue Jan 6: Intro to Bluewater Sailing - Teresa Augustin, Scott Dynes==
Bluewater Winter Sessions are a chance to dive deeper into sailing topics than we're often able to do on the water, and to get to know the program if you're new.

This session is specifically for sailors new to MIT Bluewater. It's a conversation and Q&A: learn more about how to expand your MIT sailing onto Boston Harbor and beyond.

Note: all Bluewater Winter Sessions will meet in classroom 2-131. For this intro session, just drop in. No sign-up necessary.

		+	==Tue Jan 20: Navigation 2 - Electronic Navigation - Scott Dynes, Sandy Wells, Frances Hartwell, Libby Meier==
		+	In this session we will build on the foundation of the previous session, covering the use of electronic navigation (using OpenCPN on e.g. laptops) and chartplotters (e.g. the B&G system on Mashnee). Please bring a laptop to this session with OpenCPN installed and ENC charts for Region 2 (Block Is. to the Canadian border).
		+
		+	In this session we will be going over:
		+
		+	The basics of how to get around OpenCPN
		+
		+	*Using OpenCPN to plan a local and longer trip - tides, currents
		+
		+	*Importing external weather/current information (gribs)
		+
		+	*Exporting routes developed in OpenCPN
		+
		+	*The basics of how to get around the B&G chartplotter
		+
		+	*Important B&G charts and information
		+
		+	*Importing routes developed in OpenCPN
		+
		+	We will practice these skills with a set of in-class exercises.
		+
		+	If you are going to attend this session we urge you to install OpenCPN on your laptop with the ENC charts from Region 2 (Block Is. to the Canadian border) loaded. (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFrByYYN7Is.)
