Navigation A — Coastal — question 71

At 09:00 your vessel is on a true course (TC) of 175°. A true bearing was taken of the buoy at 32°53.1'N 034°58.8'E, which indicates that it should be passed on its east side; the bearing was 215°. Her speed is 4 knots. At 09:30 the same buoy bore 295° true. An easterly wind in the area causes 5° of leeway. Find:

  1. The course over the ground (COG). 180°
  2. The vessel's position at 09:30. 32°52.6'N 035°00.1'E
