Q

You should expect to pass how far off buoy "12"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the 2000 fix established in step 2 and the 206°T track set in step 3. • The distance off a buoy is the shortest distance from the buoy to the vessel’s plotted track, measured along a line perpendicular to that track.

💭 Think About

• Plot or extend the 206°T course line from the step 2 position; where would a perpendicular from buoy “12” meet that line? • Measure that perpendicular separation on the chart, then compare it with the four choices. Is this asking for along-track distance or cross-track distance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Use the charted position of buoy “12” and the 206°T course from step 3. • Measure the separation at right angles to the track, not the distance along the track to the abeam point. • Check the chart scale and report the result in miles.
