At 08:00 your vessel is south of the south cardinal buoy at FROGS ISLAND, 0.5 miles from the buoy. She must sail to the entrance of Akko Marina (between the two entrance lights) and must be at Akko at 09:00. There is a current in the area setting 100° at 2 knots. Find:

  1. The course over the ground (COG). 060°
  2. The true course (TC). 042°
  3. The speed the log will show (SOW). 4.2 knots
  4. The speed over the ground (SOG). 5.5 knots

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