🔍 Key Concepts

• Intended track between two positions on a chart • Difference between course, heading, and bearing • Effect of wind and current on the path actually made good

💭 Think About

• Which term describes the planned direction you draw on the chart from Point 1 to Point 2, before you ever move the vessel? • Which option refers to the ship’s bow direction at a particular instant, regardless of where it will end up? • Which term involves the actual path made over the seabed, including current and set/drift effects?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is the planned direction line from one position to another. • Eliminate any term that depends on instantaneous compass reading rather than the intended track. • Eliminate any term that includes effects of current and leeway over the ground, instead of just the intended steering direction.
