Q

What provides little or no indication that a vessel is dragging anchor?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor watch techniques for detecting drag • Use of visual bearings, radar, and lead lines to monitor a vessel at anchor • Difference between early subtle signs of dragging and clear, obvious indications

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: is this method normally a primary way to detect dragging, or would it be slow/uncertain to show a problem? • Think about which methods give you a clear change in position over the ground versus those that only give indirect or delayed information. • Which option depends most on a subjective feeling or subtle effect rather than a clear navigational measurement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices use fixed objects/marks (visually or by radar) to show movement over the ground. • Consider which method is most likely to show small changes in position quickly and clearly when dragging starts. • Ask yourself which option is based on something that might not change much or be easily missed, even if the vessel is actually dragging.
