Bob, you are correct. What you need to remember is that the waypoints that you are plotting are the "expected" point. You can use normal DR methods to develop them. The variation and deviation are what you use to determine just what course the boat is actually following or a fix point. Now knowing the course you are actually following (or where you actually are), you can then alter your heading back to the next waypoint. derrick
