    This document appears to be an exam for a Second Officer certification with questions related to terrestrial and coastal navigation. It includes 4 multiple choice questions worth a total of 70 marks, and 2 additional questions worth a total of 30 marks. Question 1 involves using observations, dead reckoning, and current set to find a vessel's position at a given time. Question 2 involves using course, speed, time, and current set and drift to calculate actual set and drift. Question 3 asks for the rhumb line course and distance between two positions. Question 4 involves using vertical sextant angles and tide information to calculate the range to a lighthouse.
