Question 82Navigation General

The correct answer is B) True bearings as observed from a vessel toward the light. The limits of a colored sector of light in the Light List are typically given as true bearings as observed from a vessel toward the light. This allows the mariner to determine the boundaries of the colored sector and navigate accordingly, avoiding the potentially dangerous area indicated by the red sector. The other options are incorrect because: A) Geographical positions are not typically used to define sector limits in the Light List, C) True bearings from the light toward a vessel are less useful for navigational purposes, and D) Bearings in the Light List are always given in true (not magnetic) direction.
