Question 1 of 27070

From your 2207 position you adjust your course to arrive 0.3 mile north of Lighted Whistle Buoy "NCA". If you make good 14 knots, at what time will Cape Charles Light be abeam?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Plot the track line from the 2207 position so that it passes 0.3 NM north of Lighted Whistle Buoy "NCA" • Use the speed-time-distance relationship at 14 knots along the planned track to find when you reach the abeam position of Cape Charles Light • Identify exactly where the abeam bearing of Cape Charles Light occurs on your plotted course

💭 Think About

• On your chart, where is your 2207 position relative to Cape Charles Light and Buoy "NCA" along the route? • Once you’ve drawn the course to pass 0.3 NM north of Buoy "NCA", at what point on that line is Cape Charles Light abeam (90° off your track)? • How many nautical miles do you travel from 2207 until Cape Charles Light is abeam, and how many minutes does that take at 14 knots?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the distance run along track from 2207 position to the abeam point of Cape Charles Light (measure in nautical miles) • Use the correct speed-time-distance formula: Time (hours) = Distance (NM) / Speed (knots), then convert to minutes • Add the computed running time to 2207 carefully, checking your minute carry-over so it matches one of the answer choices
