🔍 Key Concepts

• Two-bearing visual fix using known lights on a chart • Plotting true bearings from aids to navigation back toward your vessel (remember: you are on the line of position) • Carefully reading and matching latitude and longitude from the intersection of the two lines to the multiple-choice options

💭 Think About

• On the chart, where would you place Branford Reef Light and Stratford Point Light, and how do you draw your lines from each light based on the given true bearings? • Are the bearings given as the direction from you to the light, or from the light to you—and how does that affect the plotting? • Once you have the intersection of the two lines, how do you read the latitude and longitude accurately enough to distinguish between the four close choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the bearings are true bearings and convert correctly if your plotting sheet is in true (no compass error needed if already true) • Make sure you reverse each bearing correctly (add or subtract 180°) before plotting from the light toward your vessel • Read both latitude and longitude carefully to tenths of a minute and compare them closely to the four answer choices
