🔍 Key Concepts

• relative bearings changing over time and what that says about your track • the relationship between lighthouse bearing trend and set (sideways movement) due to current • how a decreasing or increasing bearing shows whether you’re being set to the right or left of your intended course

💭 Think About

• Sketch your track line and the lighthouse on a simple diagram. As time goes on, are the bearings to the light shifting clockwise or counterclockwise? • Ask yourself: if you were exactly on your intended track with no current, what would you expect the bearings of the light to do as you go past it? • Think about whether the light appears to move forward or aft along your beam. Does that correspond to being pushed north or south relative to your intended inbound course?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully note whether the bearings to Cape Henry Light are increasing or decreasing over time. • Confirm on a chart: when inbound on about 250°T in that area, is north to your right-hand side or left-hand side? • Match the direction of the bearing change with whether your vessel is being set toward or away from the lighthouse’s side of your track.
