🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative motion of navigation aids when used as turning markers • What it means if a fixed object on the bow appears to move aft along the side of the ship • Relationship between rate of turn and how quickly a bearing change is developing

💭 Think About

• If a buoy starts four points on the bow, where should it appear to move if your rate of turn is correct for making a sharp bend? • When a fixed object appears to move aft along your side, does that mean you are swinging too fast toward it or not fast enough? • Think about what you want the buoy’s relative position to do if you are neatly following the curve of the channel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what "moving aft" along the ship’s side looks like from the bridge • Decide whether "moving aft" means you are out-turning the buoy or the buoy is outpacing your turn • Before choosing, picture the track line in the bend: are you turning too quickly or too slowly for the shape of the bend?
