Scan the Horizon: Look Forward and See the Big Picture
As a Captain, I know a GPS screen tells us where we are right now. It tracks our current position, coordinates, and speed.
But our current position is a lagging indicator. It is the result of piloting decisions we made hours ago.
If we navigate solely by data on a digital dashboard, we may be endangered by an unseen hazard or miss a favorable change in weather.
Look up from your screen. Step outside and scan the horizon.
Safe and speedy ventures are more likely when we see the big picture. 🌊
