As you approach G “7” Fl G 4s the GPS indicates a distance of 8.1nm and a bearing of 092ºM to the next waypoint in the route. You known the distance should be 3.9nm and the bearing should be 240ºM. 13. You arrive at G “7” Fl G 4s at 1634 and you increase your speed to 30 kn. You arrive at G C “1” at 1642, you slow down to 5.0kn and enter the creek. You arrive at G C “3” at You drop off your son at He takes the GPS with him. You return to G C “1”. You plan to spend the evening at Perkins Cove with friends at a cook-out. The most logical plan would be to go to R N “2” near the breakwater at Perkins Cove. However, the sunset will be at 1821 and the entrance to the cove could be dangerous in darkness. Looking over your chart you recognize the 40’ abandoned lighthouse which you know is illuminated to the west of Perkins Cove. Using the tower and the Fl R 6s 24ft 5M “4” beacon as a range would lead you right to the entrance of the cove. To avoid the breakwater you lay a course of 081ºM for G “3” Q G and plot the range. Your speed will be 20 kn. S S M = 081 V = 015W T = 066 C 081M S 20 T = 184 V = 015W M = 199 Range 199M #31 What is the bearing of the range?
