  1. At 1245 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 192°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 131°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  

  2. At 0935 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 123°M and Mill stack bears 184°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  

  3. At 1415 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Kittle water tank bears 190°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 303°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  

  4. At 0830 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 264°M and Kittle water tank bears 189°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  

  5. At 1750 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 093°M and Heron Point Light bears 177°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  

  6. At 1440 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Mill stack bears 165°M and Westfield church spire bears 241°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 1235 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 118°M and Westfield church spire bears 241°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  

  8. At 0725 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Mill stack bears 204°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 095°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
