Basic things to know about LOOKOUT βœ…βš“οΈ

βœ…Purpose of Lookout

The main purpose of a lookout is to detect and report anything that may affect the safety of navigation, such as:
-Other vessels
-Floating objects or debris
-Land or navigational hazards
-Lights, buoys, or signals
-Sound signals (fog horns, whistles)
-Changes in weather or sea conditions

βœ…Responsibilities
A good lookout must:
β€’ Maintain a continuous watch β€” never leave the post unattended.
β€’ Report immediately any sighting or sound to the officer on watch (OOW).
β€’ Use all available means (eyes, ears, radar, AIS, binoculars).
β€’ Remain alert and avoid distractions (no sleeping, no phone use).

βœ…Tools Used by a Lookout
β€’ Eyes: Most important tool for visual detection.
β€’ Ears: Listen for ship signals or alarms.
β€’ Binoculars: For sighting distant objects or lights.
β€’ Radar and AIS: Support tools to confirm and identify targets.

βœ…Proper Lookout Positions
Lookout may be posted:
β€’ On the bridge (normal operations).
β€’ At the bow or forecastle (especially at night, in restricted visibility, or when entering port).

βœ…Lookout in Different Conditions
β€’ Daytime: Focus on identifying vessels, land, and floating objects.
β€’ Nighttime: Watch for navigation lights, shore lights, or unlit objects.
β€’ Restricted visibility (fog, rain): Rely more on hearing and radar.

βœ…Rule Reference

Under Rule 5 of the COLREGs (Rules of the Road at Sea):

He never forgets the prayers you prayed years ago.

He sees the hopes you whispered long ago,
The dreams you quietly brought to Him, the petitions you spoke in faith, the prayers you almost forgot in the busyness of life.

But He reminds you that every word you offered matters.
Even when it feels like nothing has changed, He is working behind the scenes.
Even when years have passed, He remembers each prayer and is faithful to respond in His perfect timing.

So trust Him, even when the answer seems delayed.
Lean into His faithfulness, knowing that nothing you’ve prayed is ever lost.
Believe that He is moving in ways you cannot yet see.

It was never about timing on your schedule.
It was always about His perfect timing.
