A navigator is approaching a headland with a single lighthouse visible. She plans to use the doubling-the-angle technique to obtain a running fix and simultaneously verify her clearance from a reef using a danger bearing to the same lighthouse. The danger bearing is labelled 'NLT 050°T'. At the moment she takes her second bearing, the relative bearing has doubled and the observed compass bearing is 048°T. Which statement correctly evaluates both the running fix and the danger bearing status?

1. ✓ The running fix is valid because the angle doubled; the vessel is on the dangerous side of the danger bearing because 048°T is less than 050°TCorrect
2. B. The running fix is valid because the angle doubled; the vessel is in safe water because 048°T is less than 050°T
3. C. The running fix is invalid because a danger bearing cannot be used as the second LOP in a doubling-the-angle technique
4. D. The vessel is in safe water because the danger bearing requires the observed bearing to be not more than 050°T
