- Q413 - Navigation General: Oceans
175. You are running parallel to the coast and estimate that the current is against you. In plotting a running fix using bearings from the same object on the coast, the greatest safety margin from inshore dangers will result if what speed is used to determine the fix?
To maximize safety when using a running fix against a current, use the minimum speed estimate; this places the fix closer to shore than the actual position, providing a conservative and safer estimate of distance from inshore dangers.
