🔍 Key Concepts

• Assume no set and drift means your vessel travels exactly along the course line you plot • Plotting the new course 187° pgc from the 1950 position and finding the closest point of approach (CPA) to Cape Charles Lighted Bell Buoy "14" • Measuring the perpendicular distance from a point (the buoy) to a track line on the chart using dividers and the latitude scale

💭 Think About

• From your 1950 position, draw the track line for course 187° pgc. Where will this line run in relation to Buoy "14"? • How do you determine the closest distance between a fixed object (the buoy) and your intended track line on a paper chart? • After you find that distance on the chart with dividers, how do you convert that chart distance into nautical miles using the latitude scale?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using the correct 1950 plotted position before drawing the new course line • Confirm you are aligning your parallel rulers or plotter accurately to 187° pgc from that position • Measure the shortest (perpendicular) distance from the buoy to the 187° track line and read that distance carefully in nautical miles from the latitude scale
