61. Your vessel is steering course 216° per standard magnetic compass, variation for the area is 9°W, and deviation is 2°E. The wind is from the east, producing a 5° leeway. What true course are you making good?

The correct answer is 214T, which accounts for compass deviation, magnetic variation, and wind-induced leeway. Compass course is adjusted for deviation (216 + 2 = 218M), then for variation (218 — 9 = 209T), and finally for leeway (209 + 5 = 214T).
