  1. At 0925 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Kittle water tank bears 206°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 272°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  

  2. At 1345 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 230°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 130°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 0830 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 237°M and Kittle water tank bears 144°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 1105 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 224°M and Kittle water tank bears 147°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 1715 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 285°M and Mill stack bears 174°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 1045 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 204°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 103°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  

  7. At 1705 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Mill stack bears 203°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 086°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 1440 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 258°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 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
