• On 15 August 2024 steering Ra = 185° at 6 knots (deviation 2° W), you take Da Punta Carnero = 310° at 07:45 and Da Punta Almina = 195° at 08:15. Determine your position at 08:15:
• What would be the course and distance between A (l= 35º40´N; L= 006º25W) and B (l= 34º40´N; L= 005º25´W), going from A to B?
• At a distance of 2 miles from Cape Trafalgar lighthouse while Cape Spartel lighthouse bears 170º true, find your simultaneous position:
• At ship’s clock 08:20 at l= 39º 22’ N; L= 003º 28’W we want to reach l= 40º 07’N; L= 003º 7’ W at 11:50. If the total correction is -9.3º, what course should we give the helmsman and what engine speed?
