🔍 Key Concepts

• Speed-time-distance calculations between 2030 and 2045 at 14 knots • Use of relative bearings vs. true bearings to determine if a bearing statement is reasonable • Basic chartwork: checking depth contours, restricted areas, and positions of Cape Charles Light and Chesapeake Light

💭 Think About

• From 2030 to 2045, how far does the vessel travel at 14 knots, and does the change in latitude/longitude between fixes match this distance? • Once you plot the 2045 fix on the chart, where are Cape Charles Light and Chesapeake Light relative to your track and position? • At the 2045 position, what is the charted depth and are there any restricted areas or special zones in that exact location?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the run using ( \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} ) between 2030 and 2045 and compare with the change in position. • Plot the 2045 position and draw relative bearings from your ship to Cape Charles Light and Chesapeake Light; check if any option’s relative bearing is even approximately correct. • Check the charted depth contours and any restricted or regulated areas around the 2045 fix to see which statement about depth or area status could be accurate.
