70% to pass

The Light List indicates that a dayboard is a type KGW. You should _______________.

A see a green and white diamond
B pass it close aboard on either side
C look for another daymark to form the range
D leave it to port when southbound on the Atlantic Coast ICW
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) look for another daymark to form the range. The Light List indicates that a dayboard is a type KGW, which means it is a green and white daymark. This type of daymark is typically used to mark the sides of a navigation channel, and it is important to look for another daymark to form a range in order to determine the correct course of travel. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) a green and white diamond is not the correct description of a type KGW dayboard; B) you should not pass a dayboard close aboard on either side, as it is intended to mark the sides of the channel; and D) leaving the dayboard to port when southbound on the Atlantic Coast ICW would be the incorrect side to pass it on.
