Show the answer

Correct answer: b) 07:27

Why it is correct

You need h = 3.95 − 1.63 = 2.32 m. Between 04:10 (3.05) and 10:08 (0.77) that comes at 06:27 UTC, which is 07:27 official time.

Why the others are not

  • a) It does not match the working.
  • c) It does not match the working.
  • d) It does not match the working.

How to work it out in the exam

  1. Height needed = sounding asked for − charted sounding.
  2. Solve the height formula for t, and add it to the first tide time.
  3. Go from UTC to official time by adding the clock advance.
