1. At 0720 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 259°M and Mill stack bears 165°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  

2. At 1445 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 249°M and Westfield church spire bears 311°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  

3. At 0715 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Mill stack bears 156°M and Heron Point Light bears 249°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 0910 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 200°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 109°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  

5. At 1525 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Mill stack bears 176°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 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  

6. At 1655 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Heron Point Light bears 278°M and Gannet Rock daybeacon bears 007°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  

7. At 1450 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Westfield church spire bears 285°M and Mill stack bears 172°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 0950 you take two bearings with a hand-bearing compass: Mill stack bears 169°M and Westfield church spire bears 294°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
