Q

At the time of your 1245 position, which statement is TRUE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Carry forward the 1245 GPS fix from step 7 and use its chart position for the comparisons in this question. • Check the applicable waters/rules area shown on Chart 12354TR rather than assuming which Rules of the Road apply. • Compare the charted depth at the fix with the fathometer option, and assess Bradford Reef’s direction and distance from the vessel.

💭 Think About

• From the 1245 position established in step 7, how can you plot Bradford Reef relative to the vessel and decide whether it is on the starboard bow at the stated range? • What charted boundary or designation near the 1245 fix would determine which Rules of the Road apply, and what chart feature would indicate a danger area? • What soundings near the plotted position can you use to evaluate the fathometer reading, allowing for the chart’s depth datum and units?

✅ Before You Answer

• Do not substitute the earlier fixes from steps 2, 4, 5, or 6 for the 1245 GPS position in step 7. • Verify the exact rule-area boundary and chart symbols at the plotted position; do not infer them from the general location alone. • Check that the depth comparison uses the chart’s sounding units and datum, and distinguish a charted sounding from actual water depth.
