The Correct answer is A - the ship is in front of you, slightly to your left, moving away from you Navigation Test#5  You are steaming towards St. Johns, Newfoundland, known to sailors as "NewfieJohn". To get into harbour safely you have to pass through the "Narrows" - a narrow sea channel with high cliffs on both sides. The heading into the harbour is Port 272 degrees - almost due West. However, there is an ocean current running South to North at 2 knots (four kph)and a westerly wind blowing at 35 kmp. How will these affect your ship's movement through the Narrows? a. The current will push the ship to the south but the wind has no effect on warships b. The current will push the ship to the North and the winds will push the ship - increasing its speed. c. The current will push the ship to the North and the wind will slow the ship's progress |
