🔍 Key Concepts

• Identify what type of cardinal buoy is shown by the two black cones and which side of the buoy has safe water according to the IALA buoyage system. • Relate the buoy’s position "two points on the starboard bow" (22.5° off the bow) to your current course of 127°T to picture where the danger lies relative to your track. • Recall that your maneuver should keep your vessel on the safe side of the buoy, not necessarily pass close to it, and should avoid standing into danger.

💭 Think About

• First, decide exactly which cardinal mark the illustration represents (North, East, South, or West) based on the direction the cones point. Where is the danger relative to that mark? • Once you know the safe side, sketch your course line (127°T) and place the buoy two points on the starboard bow. If you continue on that course, will you pass on the safe or dangerous side of the mark? • For each answer choice, imagine the new relative bearing of the buoy after the maneuver. Which option clearly places your vessel on the correct safe side of this particular cardinal buoy?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be certain of the cardinal mark identification from the cone shapes before choosing any answer. • Confirm which side of a [identified] cardinal buoy you must keep to remain in safe water (e.g., pass to North of a North mark, etc.). • Double‑check that the described maneuver does not require you to pass close aboard the buoy if that would risk bringing you over the danger it marks.
