🔍 Key Concepts

• Constant bearing, decreasing range (CBDR) as an indication of collision or closing with an object • How changes in relative bearing show whether you are moving toward or away from a danger while at anchor • What increasing vs. decreasing soundings mean relative to nearby wrecks or shoal water

💭 Think About

• If your vessel is drifting toward a danger, what will the bearing of a fixed object near that danger tend to do—stay the same, swing toward it, or swing away from it? • Which aid to navigation in the answers is associated with the general direction of the wrecks from your 2215 position, and what would its bearing do if you were being set toward those wrecks? • When you are at anchor and your depth soundings are increasing, are you generally moving toward shallower wrecks/obstructions or away into deeper water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which object (Wolf Trap Light or New Point Comfort Light) lies in roughly the same general direction as the wrecks from your 2215 position • Decide whether constant bearing to a fixed light means risk of closing or no relative movement between you and that light • Verify whether increasing soundings would logically indicate drifting toward wrecks (likely on shallower ground) or away from them
