Where Away

Where Away is a nautical term used to ask the location of a particular object or point of interest in relation to the vessel. It is commonly used to inquire about the location of other vessels, navigational hazards, or landmarks. The term is often used in radio communications between vessels or between a vessel and a shore station. The response to a Where Away inquiry typically includes the bearing and distance of the object or point of interest from the vessel, as well as any other relevant information such as the object's name or type.
