70% to pass

Which publication should you check for complete information on Puget Sound weather conditions?

A Coast Pilot
B Sailing Directions
C Chart of the area
D Light List
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Coast Pilot. The Coast Pilot publication is the authoritative source for comprehensive information on weather conditions, currents, and other navigational details for specific waterways, including Puget Sound. The Coast Pilot is published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and is required to be carried on board vessels operating in US waters. The other options are incorrect because they do not contain the level of detailed weather information found in the Coast Pilot. Sailing Directions provide general routing information, charts show the physical features of the waterway, and the Light List contains information on navigational aids, but none of these publications focus specifically on weather conditions in the same way as the Coast Pilot.
