Scouting & Planning
My planning workflow: a goal without a plan is just a wish.
“To plan means to see something that has yet to happen while sitting in your chair.”
Have you ever reached a location to find it is not the place you imagined, with the wrong tide, the wrong weather, the sun in the wrong place? Stop relying on chance: I teach you how I plan every trip, from a weekend to the other side of the world.
Don’t leave it to fate
At random
With a method
No idea where the sun will set
The sun sets right where you framed it
You discover the tide once you are there
The right tide, and a safe way back
Too many spots, decided in the field
You arrive knowing exactly where to go
What you will learn
- Setting a goal: a place, or a season
- Seeing a place before you go
- The four pillars: time, ephemeris, tides, weather
- Sun and moon positions with PhotoPills
- Reading the tides, and staying safe
- From desk to field: your spots, even offline
