🔍 Key Concepts

• Running fix using two bearings of the same object taken at different times • Plotting a course line and considering unknown current when evaluating position • Chart features south and southwest of Montauk Point Light, including depth curves, territorial sea limits, and special areas

💭 Think About

• After plotting the two bearings and advancing/retiring the first LOP, where does the running fix fall in relation to the depth curves and any labeled areas around Montauk Point? • How does an unknown current affect the reliability of your course-made-good compared with your dead-reckoning track when judging distance off? • On the chart for Montauk Point, which charted features lie near the typical 13‑knot, 18‑minute run on course 206°T from the first bearing line?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure to use the correct chart scale and identify the 90‑foot depth curve and nearby fathom curves • Identify the limits of the Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone if shown and compare with your plotted running‑fix position • Look carefully for any lobster pot or special-use areas in the vicinity of your plotted running fix before deciding which statement best matches your position
