So I am comfortable with a topographic map, declination and a compass to be dropped off in the woods and figure out where to go and where I am. I just need to transfer these skills to the water on a boat, which I am sure the foundational skills are the same. Just accounting for tide, wind and actually sailing a charted course is a whole new thing for me.
