🔍 Key Concepts

• Set and drift as the difference between DR (dead reckoning) position and fix position • Using a time interval in minutes to compute drift (speed of the current) • Plotting a LOP from a lighthouse and using an offset distance off a buoy to find the fix

💭 Think About

• How do you plot where you should be at 2054 based only on your course and speed from 2027 (your DR position)? • Once you have your DR at 2054 and your actual fix at 2054, in which true direction did the current push you (this is the set)? • How do you convert the distance between DR and fix over 27 minutes into knots (this will give you the drift)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure the time interval from 2027 to 2054 is correctly converted into hours before computing drift • Confirm that the direction of the current (set) is drawn from DR position to the fix position, not the other way around • Verify that the computed speed in knots makes sense compared with the possible answers (1.4 vs 3.1 knots) before choosing a choice
