Question 562Navigation General70% to pass
You are preparing to take a tow from San Diego to Portland, OR. Good seamanship would require that you have on board, available for reference and use, all of the following EXCEPT the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Sailing Directions (Enroute).
Good seamanship requires that you have on board, available for reference and use, harbor and coastal charts for ports of refuge enroute (A), the Coast Pilot (B), and the Light List (D). These navigation publications provide essential information for safe passage, such as channel depths, aids to navigation, and hazards to navigation.
However, Sailing Directions (Enroute) are not required for this type of towing operation. Sailing Directions are primarily used for open ocean passages and do not contain the level of detail found in the other publications, which are more relevant for coastal and harbor navigation.
