Navigation A — Coastal — question 21

At 06:20 your vessel is near the buoy with the characteristic Fl(2)8s, which carries a passive radar reflector (in Haifa Bay). She must sail to the entrance of Akko Marina (between the two entrance lights), and must be at Akko at 07:00. In the area there is a current setting 250° at 2 knots. Find:

  1. The course over the ground (COG). 040°
  2. The true course (TC). 047°
  3. The speed the log will show (SOW). 8.5 knots
  4. The speed over the ground (SOG). 6.7 knots

The question is solved on chart 1000. On the site it comes with the relevant sections of the chart.
