🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative bearing when abeam (what is the bearing to the buoy at that moment?) • Using the nautical chart to measure perpendicular distance from track line to an object • Difference between course steered and track made good (CMG)

💭 Think About

• On your chart, draw the 150°T track from your 1930 position. How can you tell when you are exactly abeam of Valiant Rock Bell Buoy "1A"? • Once you find the point on your track where you are abeam of the buoy, how can you measure the minimum distance between that track line and the buoy? • Does your engine speed of 13 knots change the closest point of approach (CPA) distance, or only how long it takes to get there?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the relative bearing for "abeam" (port or starboard) and convert that to a true bearing from the ship to the buoy. • Verify your track line is correctly plotted from the 1930 fix at 150°T, not from anywhere else. • Use the chart’s latitude scale (not the longitude scale) to measure the distance in nautical miles between the track and the buoy at the abeam point.
