  1. At 1150 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 197°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 096°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  

  2. At 1255 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 086°M and Westfield church spire bears 323°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 Heron Point Light to the fix, and the distance.

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

    Bearing from Heron Point Light: ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  3. At 1135 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Mill stack bears 190°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 070°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  

  4. At 1045 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 219°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 133°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 1600 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 185°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 117°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 Westfield church spire to the fix, and the distance.

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

    Bearing from Westfield church spire: ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  6. At 0945 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 117°M and Heron Point Light bears 232°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  

  7. At 1005 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 183°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 113°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 Westfield church spire to the fix, and the distance.

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

    Bearing from Westfield church spire: ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  8. At 1305 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 280°M and Kittle water tank bears 196°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
