🔍 Key Concepts

• Voyage planning process steps (from goal-setting to execution) • Difference between defining the objective and analyzing conditions • What must be clearly established before you can decide how to act

💭 Think About

• Can you plan how to achieve something if you have not clearly decided what you are trying to achieve? • Which option describes the foundation that all the other steps in planning will build on? • Look at the choices: which step logically has to come first so that the others even make sense?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you first identify what outcome the plan is meant to produce. • Check which option is about purpose rather than methods or analysis. • Verify that the step you choose could not possibly come after another step on the list.
