You are outbound in a channel marked by a range astern. The range line is 133°T. You are steering 315°T and have the range in sight as shown in illustration D048NG below. What action should you take?

Correct Answer: Option D — Come left to close the range then when on the range steer 313°T.

With the range astern (133°T) showing the vessel to the left of the line when steering 315°T, the vessel must come left to close the track, then resume the 313°T course once aligned.
