70% to pass

If you are sailing from the East Coast of the United States to the Caribbean Sea, which publication would contain information on weather, currents, and storms?

A Tidal Current Tables
B Light Lists, Atlantic and Gulf Coast
C Pilot Charts of the North Atlantic
D Sailing Charts of the Caribbean Sea
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Pilot Charts of the North Atlantic. Explanation: Pilot Charts of the North Atlantic contain detailed information on weather, currents, and storm patterns for the North Atlantic region, including the route from the East Coast of the United States to the Caribbean Sea. This publication is specifically designed to provide mariners with critical data on maritime weather and oceanographic conditions to aid in voyage planning and safe navigation. The other options are incorrect because they do not contain the comprehensive weather and current information needed for a transoceanic passage. Tidal Current Tables (A) focus on localized tidal currents, Light Lists (B) provide information on navigational aids, and Sailing Charts of the Caribbean Sea (D) do not cover the North Atlantic region.
