A Hora Reloj Bitácora (HRB)= 1030 tomamos simultáneamente demoras verdaderas a los faros: Punta Carnero= 316º y Punta Cires= 233º ¿Cuál será nuestra posición en ese instante?At HRB = 1030 you simultaneously take true bearings Dv Punta Carnero = 316º and Dv Punta Cires = 233º. What is your position at that instant?
Show the answer
Correct answer: b) 36º 00' N - 005º 20' W
Why it is correct
Plotting the reciprocal bearing 136º from Punta Carnero lighthouse (36º 04.3′ N, 005º 25.4′ W) and 053º from Punta Cires lighthouse (35º 54.7′ N, 005º 28.8′ W), the two lines intersect at 36º 00′ N, 005º 20′ W.
Why the others are not
- a) Does not match the charted intersection of Dv(Carnero) = 316º and Dv(Cires) = 233º.
- c) Does not match the charted intersection of Dv(Carnero) = 316º and Dv(Cires) = 233º.
- d) Does not match the charted intersection of Dv(Carnero) = 316º and Dv(Cires) = 233º.
How to work it out in the exam
- Plot the reciprocal bearing 136º from Punta Carnero and 053º from Punta Cires.
- Read the intersection point: 36º 00′ N, 005º 20′ W.
