🔍 Key Concepts

• Using the DR (dead reckoning) or plotted position at 1920 to determine what is on your starboard beam • Understanding how to read buoy symbols, light characteristics, and names on the chart • Recognizing the difference between a buoy’s name/designation (e.g., "Lighted Buoy 'A'") and its light characteristic (e.g., quick flashing, interrupted quick flashing)

💭 Think About

• From your vessel’s position at 1920, look 90° to starboard on the chart. Which buoy lies approximately abeam on that side? • Compare the charted buoy at that location with each choice: what is its name/designation, and what are its light characteristics? • Does the question ask for the buoy’s name or its light characteristic? How does that affect which choices can be eliminated?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm your exact position at 1920 from the exam’s previous plot or DR track before deciding what is abeam • Verify on the chart the label and light description of the buoy directly forward of your starboard beam • Eliminate any options that describe only a light characteristic when the question is asking for a charted buoy name (or vice versa), based on the exam’s wording
