🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the scale of nautical miles on the chart that covers New London to Cape Cod Bay • Measure along the recommended coastal route, not straight-line over land • Remember that exam questions often assume nautical miles, not statute miles

💭 Think About

• On the training chart, how would you trace the usual coastal route from New London toward Buzzards Bay and the Cape Cod Canal entrance? • When you lay your dividers along that route, what total distance do you get in nautical miles after adding each leg? • Do any of the answer choices look more like a straight-line distance instead of the piloting route distance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are measuring in nautical miles (NM), not statute miles • Double-check that you are starting at the correct New London reference point (e.g., harbor entrance or sea buoy) the exam uses • Verify you are stopping your measurement at the east entrance of the Cape Cod Canal, not mid‑canal or at a nearby buoy
