🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the established 0600 position and 250°T course from step 10 as the departure reference for the later leg. • Interpret “abeam” as the vessel reaching a position approximately abeam of Cape Henry Light, then measure the remaining route distance to Yorktown on Chart 12221TR. • Measure chart distance with the chart’s nautical-mile latitude scale; the attached deviation table is not relevant to a true-course chart-distance measurement.

💭 Think About

• Where is Cape Henry Light relative to the vessel’s stated position and intended track in step 10, and what route point marks the light being abeam? • From that abeam point, what distance remains to Yorktown when measured along the plotted route rather than as a straight-line estimate?

✅ Before You Answer

• Start from the established 0600 fix in step 10, not the earlier 0400 or 0500 position. • Confirm whether the question asks for remaining distance from the abeam point to Yorktown, not total distance from the vessel’s prior position. • Ignore compass deviation unless a magnetic-compass course is specifically required.
