1. TC and distance to Cape Leeuwin: 130.8T 4610.7 miles Course to steer: 126.7 T, Speed made good: 18.3 knots 2. EP @ 19:16:24 (local time) 15:16:24 (GMT) 14d 21.8 min N, 56d 26.3 min E 3. Body 1: Antares, Body 2: Vega, Body 3: Regulus Calculated ZN (from DR position) 133, 053.4, 273.5 degrees respectively 4.Fix: 13d 47.0 min N 59d 07.4 min E Note this is some 161.1 miles at 102.5 T from the estimated position, perhaps there is an error in the drift .... 5. From Fix position, calculated ZNs are: 274.9 T, 053.4 T, 134.5 T. This is exactly 5 degrees less than the compass reading. Therefore with a variation of 3dW, the compass deviation of 2dW has not changed. 6. This question assumes midnight to be midnight GMT and not mdnight Zone time. Estimated Position 12d 02.2 min N, 61d 10.2 E 7. TC and distance: 122.6 T, 838.9 miles 8. compass course to steer: 182.4 deg C. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-= =-= TO UNSUBSCRIBE, send this message to majordomo@ronin.com: =-= =-= navigation =-= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=
