🔍 Key Concepts

• Set and drift definitions in current and leeway problems • How to convert a distance made off-course in a known time into drift (speed of the current) • On a standard navigation plot, which direction is labeled 090° and which is 270°

💭 Think About

• Think about where your DR position is and where your observed (fix) position is. From the DR to the fix, in which compass direction did the current move you? • You traveled for 30 minutes. How do you convert 30 minutes into hours, and then use that time and the 0.5 mile offset to compute a speed? • Visualize or sketch the DR point and the fix. Draw an arrow from DR to fix: what is the true direction of that arrow, and what is its length per hour?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that set is the direction toward which you are pushed (from DR to fix). • Confirm that drift is always in knots (NM per hour), so you must adjust for the 30‑minute time interval. • Double-check your compass directions: east is 090°T and west is 270°T on a standard compass rose.
