Question 1791Navigation General

You are correct, the answer is A) track. The path of intended travel between three or more points is referred to as the track. This is the actual path the vessel follows over the water, taking into account factors such as wind, current, and steering adjustments. The track represents the vessel's route and accounts for the changes in direction between multiple waypoints or points of reference. The other answer choices are not accurate in this context. Bearing refers to the direction from one point to another, course over the ground is the actual direction the vessel is moving over the surface of the water, and course is the intended direction of travel before accounting for external factors.
