Coastal Navigation for Sailors; a solution to the Danger Bearing by Captain Tom Tursi

Thank you. Well done.

The clearing line is not dependent at all on your current position, it is measure from

a fixed object. In the example, there was no safety margin to allow for compass and steering errors. What if the danger were a lee shore? A much greater margin would be necessary. Also the parallel rules are hopeless in a small boat; better to use a protractor or Portland Plotter. I have to do this while sailing a dinghy with the other hand.

Nicely explained in uk i think it also called a clearing bearing

thanks

Yes, correct.

Personally I don't think he does such a great job explaning what is really quite a simple concept. Among other things, a clearing bearing is not measured from one's current position (2:14), and does not "guide us in" (2:24).
