Q

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

🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the 2000 fix from step 2 and the 206°T track from step 3. • The distance off the buoy is the perpendicular distance from the buoy to the vessel’s plotted track, not the along-track distance to the abeam point. • Use the chart’s distance scale to measure the shortest separation.

💭 Think About

• From the position established in step 2, how would you plot the track specified in step 3 and locate the point abeam of buoy “12”? • At the abeam point, what geometric distance should you measure between the vessel’s track and the buoy? • Which choice best matches that perpendicular distance on the chart?

✅ Before You Answer

• Start with the 2000 fix and plot 206°T as established in steps 2–3. • Measure perpendicular to the track; do not reuse the 6.1-nautical-mile along-track run from step 3. • Check the measurement against the chart’s nautical-mile scale before selecting.
