  1. At 1650 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 132°M and Heron Point Light bears 201°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 1255 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 129°M and Westfield church spire bears 247°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 1355 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 264°M and Mill stack bears 200°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  

  4. At 1020 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 226°M and Kittle water tank bears 146°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 Tern Island tower to the fix, and the distance.

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

    Bearing from Tern Island tower: ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  5. At 1630 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 221°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 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 1600 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 235°M and Mill stack bears 179°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 1440 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Kittle water tank bears 146°M and Heron Point Light bears 263°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 Gannet Rock daybeacon to the fix, and the distance.

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

    Bearing from Gannet Rock daybeacon: ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  8. At 1340 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 290°M and Mill stack 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 "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
