- Q141 - Navigation Problems: Near Coastal
205. You are steaming on a course of 058° T at 11.5 knots. At 0209 you observe a lighthouse bearing 129° T. At 0252 the lighthouse bears 173° T. What is your distance off at the second bearing?
The distance off at the second bearing is determined by calculating the run between bearings, finding the angles within the triangle formed by the ship's positions and the lighthouse, and applying the law of sines to solve for the distance. The correct distance is 11.2 nautical miles.
