Navigation by the moon

by Al
(Jackson Tennessee)

I always study in advance the times of the rise and set for the sun and moon. In the northern hemisphere when the moon is at its transit (mid point between rise and set) it is very close to due south.

A waxing moon always points west toward the sun and a waning moon always points east toward the sun. These are general directions of course.
