What is the fundamental difference between
a fixed navigational aid and a floating one as
depicted on a chart.
1 pt for everyone but Joe--for him it's only 1/2 a point
or if he whines about it--a dozen lashes .
A floating aid will generally be shown with an open
circle, indicating
that its exact position may change.
The fixed aid will generally have a dot in the circle or a
larger
black disk, indicating that its position can considered
exact.
As a sailor, what is the significance between the two?
