🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative bearing vs. true bearing and how they are measured • How to combine a ship's heading (course) with a relative bearing to find a true bearing • The 0°–360° compass circle and what happens when you pass through 360°

💭 Think About

• From what reference is a relative bearing of 090° measured, and in which direction is it counted? • If your ship’s true course is 344°T, where is your bow pointing on the compass card, and where would something abeam to starboard lie in terms of true bearing? • When you add the relative bearing to your heading, do you need to adjust the result if it goes over 360°, and how?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you’re measuring the relative bearing from the ship’s head (heading), not from north • Check whether the lighthouse is on your starboard or port side and which way bearings increase • After doing the math, ensure your final answer is between 000° and 359° and represents a direction that makes sense on the compass.
