Question 1 of 27070

What is the distance from your 0200 position to the point where Twenty-Eight Foot Shoal lighted buoy is abeam to starboard?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative bearings vs. true bearings (abeam to starboard means a 090° relative bearing from your heading) • Using your track line from the 0200 position on the chart to find where a bearing line from the buoy will intersect it • Measuring distance along the track line between two plotted points with dividers and the latitude scale

💭 Think About

• What is your course from the 0200 position, and what true bearing to the buoy corresponds to the buoy being abeam to starboard? • Where does the line drawn from Twenty-Eight Foot Shoal buoy on that true bearing intersect your track line from 0200? • Once that intersection is found, how do you accurately measure the distance from the 0200 position to that point on the chart?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using relative bearing 090° to starboard and converting it correctly to a true bearing based on your course • Make sure the intersection point you use lies on your actual track line from 0200, not just anywhere on the chart • Measure the distance with dividers and read it against the latitude scale nearest the track, then compare carefully with the answer choices
