Navigation A — Coastal — question 10

  1. Which chart do you need for more detail of the sailing area between Hadera and Palmahim? Give its catalogue number. Chart number 22.
  2. Give the characteristics of the lighthouse in the western part of ILLUSIONS ISLANDS. One flash in green/white/red every 10 seconds, height 15 m, range 4–6 miles.
  3. According to the chart, can a vessel cross from east to west, or the reverse, between ARIK ISLAND and ILLUSIONS ISLANDS? Give reasons for your answer. No. It is not possible to cross in this area because of the danger to navigation: rocks at sea level and shallow depths.
  4. At the entrance to Herzliya Marina a depth of 4.6 metres is marked. Can this depth change over 24 hours? Give reasons for your answer. Yes, because of the rise and fall of the tide.

The question is solved on chart 1000. On the site it comes with the relevant sections of the chart.
