Helpin the Captain - Route Planning


One of the regular tasks at sea is the route planning. Both paper charts and electronic navigation is used. It is the captain's responsibility. Fortunately he is not alone with all those decisions as the first mate instructs him where the vessel shall sail and I help with the big picture, on the paper chart, literally. 

As a chief of the vessel I oversee the route planning. Looking good so far...
What happens now?

Oh no, this is not going well...

Captain, you need to pay attention! Look at what I show to you with my paw.

Here, here! We shall go here!
