🔍 Key Concepts

• Speed-Time-Distance relationship: how to use ( \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} ) with knots and nautical miles • Course line distance from your present position to the first turning point in York Spit Channel • Time format conversion: converting decimal hours into minutes and then into a 4-digit time (HHMM)

💭 Think About

• First, determine the charted distance from your present position to the first turning point between buoys "29" and "30". How many nautical miles is it? • Once you know the distance, how do you plug 8.3 knots into the time–distance formula, and what units must match? • After you get time in hours (possibly a decimal), how do you convert the decimal part of an hour into minutes, and then add that to your departure time to get ETA in HHMM?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure your distance is read correctly from the chart between your starting point and the first turning point (not past it). • Confirm your speed (8.3 knots) and distance are both in nautical units before using the formula. • After getting time, carefully convert decimal hours to minutes and then add to the given departure time, watching for any hour rollover (e.g., past 2400 or to the next hour).
