Page 18: The International Date Line
In this section, there is an error in the description in the change from one calendar day to another either side of the international date line. The description should read as follows:
In the above situation, for a traveller moving westwards across the international date line a day is lost, in the sense that he moves immediately from 1000 hours Monday 22nd April to 1000 hours Tuesday 23rd April (so he apparently loses a day in time), while a traveller moving eastwards across the date line moves immediately from 1000 hours Tuesday 23rd April to 1000 hours Monday 22nd April, thereby gaining a day.

In the first line underneath Figure 16.1, the abbreviation VDR should read NDB.
Page 378: Marked-up Chart for Practical Navigation Route
The arrows on the wind vector in the middle of the marked - up chart for the Chapter 13 navigation route questions, on Page 378, are 180° out; they should be pointing in the opposite direction. The wind direction and speed 230/15 are correct.
