  1. At 1355 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 301°M and Heron Point Light bears 238°M.

    Variation is 7°W (from the rose); a hand-bearing compass held away from the boat's steel is taken to have no deviation. Convert to true, plot the two lines of position, and give the fix as the true bearing FROM Green can "3" to the fix, and the distance.

    Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).

    Bearing from Green can "3": ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  2. At 1205 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 252°M and Mill stack bears 183°M.

    Variation is 7°W (from the rose); a hand-bearing compass held away from the boat's steel is taken to have no deviation. Convert to true, plot the two lines of position, and give the fix as the true bearing FROM Red nun "2" to the fix, and the distance.

    Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).

    Bearing from Red nun "2": ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  3. At 1015 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 327°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 084°M.

    Variation is 7°W (from the rose); a hand-bearing compass held away from the boat's steel is taken to have no deviation. Convert to true, plot the two lines of position, and give the fix as the true bearing FROM Green can "1" to the fix, and the distance.

    Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).

    Bearing from Green can "1": ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  4. At 1505 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 249°M and Mill stack bears 173°M.

    Variation is 7°W (from the rose); a hand-bearing compass held away from the boat's steel is taken to have no deviation. Convert to true, plot the two lines of position, and give the fix as the true bearing FROM Green can "3" to the fix, and the distance.

    Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).

    Bearing from Green can "3": ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  5. At 1355 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 255°M and Mill stack bears 169°M.

    Variation is 7°W (from the rose); a hand-bearing compass held away from the boat's steel is taken to have no deviation. Convert to true, plot the two lines of position, and give the fix as the true bearing FROM Green can "3" to the fix, and the distance.

    Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).

    Bearing from Green can "3": ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  6. At 1750 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Kittle water tank bears 191°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 269°M.

    Variation is 7°W (from the rose); a hand-bearing compass held away from the boat's steel is taken to have no deviation. Convert to true, plot the two lines of position, and give the fix as the true bearing FROM Bell buoy "HS" to the fix, and the distance.

    Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).

    Bearing from Bell buoy "HS": ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  7. At 1730 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 126°M and Mill stack bears 176°M.

    Variation is 7°W (from the rose); a hand-bearing compass held away from the boat's steel is taken to have no deviation. Convert to true, plot the two lines of position, and give the fix as the true bearing FROM Green can "3" to the fix, and the distance.

    Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).

    Bearing from Green can "3": ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  8. At 1630 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 062°M and Westfield church spire bears 305°M.

    Variation is 7°W (from the rose); a hand-bearing compass held away from the boat's steel is taken to have no deviation. Convert to true, plot the two lines of position, and give the fix as the true bearing FROM Mill stack to the fix, and the distance.

    Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).

    Bearing from Mill stack: ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm
