🔍 Key Concepts

• Abeam means the landmark is approximately 90° off the vessel’s bow, so use the Cape Henry Light abeam position on the plotted route. • Use the voyage’s established inbound course toward Yorktown and measure the remaining route distance on Chart 12221TR; distinguish nautical miles from statute miles.

💭 Think About

• From step 10, what starting position, course, and current-set information help you project the vessel’s track toward the point where Cape Henry Light is abeam? • At that abeam point, how can you measure the remaining distance to Yorktown on the chart, and which choices are inconsistent with the plotted route length?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carry forward the position/course and navigation information from step 10; step 11–12 add location context but do not give a new fix. • Measure from the abeam point to Yorktown, rather than from the current position or the prior fix, and confirm the chart’s distance units.
