  19. SAP 100 Stop (100 feet away) Assess Plan There is always enough time

  20. Knots

  21. Knots – Clove Hitch • Used to tie a rope not too securely too a pole or ring.

  22. Round turn and 2.5 hitches • Used to a rope securely to a pole or ring • It is a clove hitch with two half hitches for added security

  37. Weather

  38. Weather It is important that, as part of a Rescue boat crew, that you become aware of the marine weather forecast and the effects of adverse weather, so that you are personally prepared, and that you are aware developing weather that may exceed the limitations of your vessel.

  39. Sea State List the sea state beside the picture. A 1) Small Craft Warning 2) Storm force 3) Light Winds 4) Moderate Winds 5) Hurricane B C

  40. Distress Signals

  41. Distress Signals • All are listed in Annex IV of the collision regulations • Recognize the signs • Know what to do • Be familiar with your own signaling devices

  42. Chartwork

  43. Depths, Drying Heights & Elevations (A) Elevation -above HHW LT (B) Depth -below chart datum (C)Rock awash at chart datum (D)Rock which covers and uncovers with drying height. (E)Rock which does not cover with elevation. (A) Higher High Water-Large Tides Chart Datum- Zero Tide * (24) (5) + (B) (E) (C) (D)

  44. Speed, Distance & Time Cover the value that you need 60 xDistance Distance cover the D SXT 60 Speed Time Speed cover the S 60XD T 60D 60D 60D Time cover the T 60XD S S T S S T T

  45. Latitude Scale The Latitude Scale is always on the side of the Chart. All distances must be measure using the Latitude Scale See 48°50’N (48 degrees 50’ north)

  46. Longitude Scale The Longitude Scale is along the top and bottom of the chart. See 122° 50’ W (122 degrees 50’ west)

  47. Latitude & Longitude Position Positions at sea are generally given in Latitude and Longitude. Latitude is always given first, and Longitude second. Around British Columbia, all latitudes are north, and all longitudes are west

  48. Latitude Decimals & Seconds 48° 48.0’N 48° 48’ 00”N .9’ .8’ .7’ .6’ 54” 48” 42” 36” 60 Seconds = 1 Minute 60” = 1’ 60 Minutes = 1 Degree 60’ = 1° .5’ 30” .4’ .3’ .2’ .1’ 24” 18” 12” 06” 48° 47.0’N 48° 47’ 00”N Longitude works the same way

  49. Conversion of Seconds to Decimals & Back Seconds to decimals = Seconds 60 Decimals to seconds = Decimal x 60
