Guess what question I sometimes ask YM candidates.

Here’s your only clue.

 

[benjenbav]

I would imagine it’s something to do with the reliance they would propose to place on the chart given that the source data for quite a lot of the inset is either very old and/or of questionable provenance.

 

[FWB]

Depths appear to be in metres.
Here in feet.

 

[Bouba]

Their credit card number?

 

[Concerto]

Seeing the conversion guide, leads me to ask what units are used in the chart. The UK had converted to metric decades before the last small update in 2002, but I am unsure what units are used in Grenada.

 

[Sandy]

When was your chart last updated?

 

[RunAgroundHard]

Whats between the depth soundings?

 

[Chiara’s slave]

When was your chart last updated?

Something like that. The survey is 50 years ild..

 

[john_morris_uk]

Those are all good and possible questions (with the exception of Bouba’s.)
Chart data and reliance has some relevance but think symbols.

 

[john_morris_uk]

PS I sailed down this very coast, close in, two days ago.

 

[RunAgroundHard]

Q. What do the broken contour lines mean?

 

[Gsailor]

To do with tides? I like tidal diamonds (symbols)

What anchor and scope would you use in the anchorage? ;-) With a supplementary with regards to suitable weather..

Great question! I wonder what the answer is myself sometimes. I wonder who might help us out here?

 

[Gsailor]

Lack of many landmarks, or symbols thereof (assuming the candidate has been told not to use gps)? So question would be how do you know where you are accurately?

You win the prize.



(And the answer is?)

 

[Gsailor]

No symbol to show what type of seabed at anchorage?

Another possible question but not the one I was thinking of.

What’s tallow in your lead on your lead-line for eh?

 

[RunAgroundHard]

A. Depth uncertain..
