  1. At 1140 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 018°M and Kittle water tank bears 143°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 1415 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Kittle water tank bears 177°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 228°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  

  3. At 1710 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 350°M and Heron Point Light 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 Kittle water tank to the fix, and the distance.

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

    Bearing from Kittle water tank: ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  4. At 1240 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 260°M and Heron Point Light bears 208°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 1455 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 000°M and Heron Point Light bears 274°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 Kittle water tank to the fix, and the distance.

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

    Bearing from Kittle water tank: ________ °T   Distance: ________ nm  

  6. At 1025 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Mill stack bears 213°M and Westfield church spire bears 293°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  

  7. At 1015 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 106°M and Heron Point Light bears 207°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 1050 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 125°M and Westfield church spire bears 245°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
