That means >our DR should reflect 78 hrs 58 min 23 sec traveling at 10.3 kts on a >course of 124.6 true. We were buffeted for two days (I don't know what >that means), but in any case I have trouble coming up with the correct DR >for problem # 3. Any Help! ****************** We are caught by a severe storm and are buffeted for two days. On the evening of the second day the storm begins to subside. The clouds begin to raise and thin. By 23/03/1999 there are several breaks in the cloud cover. Var 30dE, Dev 3dW. Speed 10.3 Kts. On the TC for Cape Horn. |At 18:48:23ZT @ 23/03/1999 the sky clears so that we are able to take some sights. We use the steering compass to take bearings. |3) What is the DR position at 18:48:23ZT @ 23/03/1999? -- --------------------------------------------------- Dan Hogan WA6PBY dhhogan@XXX.XXX Navigation-L: http://nav.cnchost.com
