Sailor Trivia Test #2
OK Jeff, now its my turn. Here's 5 more nautical questions:
1. What is a degaussing cable used for?
2. You are at the helm and the skipper tells you to shift the rudder, what do you do?
3. What is the plimsoll marker?
4. When the helmsman acknowledges the last command the skipper gives him, the skipper says "very well". Why is that specific phrase used?
5. As lookout, you spot a target two points abaft the starboard beam. What is the relative bearing of that object?
Have fun!!!
Bill
