As a backpacker, with a science background, I taught myself the basics of taking compass readings, plotting a course, reading topos, the night sky, etc which has served me well.
As for the water, I picked up a used 13th edition of Dutton's Navigation and Piloting many years ago. It too has served me well. There is a ton of information in there you DO NOT want to figure out on your own when you need it. Unlike backpacking. You might consider that as an additional source of information.
