🔍 Key Concepts

• Barometric pressure and weather – what does a rapid drop in pressure usually indicate about approaching systems? • Small craft seamanship – what is the safest general response at sea when you see signs of deteriorating weather? • Difference between observing weather vs reporting it – which is more urgent for your own vessel in the moment?

💭 Think About

• When barometric pressure falls quickly, does that usually mean clear weather, unreliable instruments, or approaching bad weather? Think about basic meteorology. • In a license exam, which answer best reflects good seamanship to protect your vessel and crew when you see a sign of possible severe weather? • Which options are mostly about getting information or confirmation, and which are about taking proactive safety measures on board?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice actually changes your vessel’s readiness or condition rather than just gathering information. • Recall that a rapid pressure fall is a classic warning sign of what type of weather change. • Eliminate any option that assumes the instrument is wrong without checking other weather clues (clouds, wind, sea state).
