Question 230 Deck General

The correct answer is C) steer left of the ordered course. The helm command "Nothing to the left" means the helmsman should not steer the vessel to the left of the ordered course. This is because steering to the left would take the vessel off course and potentially put it in danger or cause it to collide with objects on the port side. The other options are incorrect because: A) using left rudder would cause the vessel to steer to the left, which is the opposite of the command; B) steering right of the ordered course is not prohibited by the command; and D) leaving buoys on the port side is not directly addressed by the "Nothing to the left" command.
