MT Lowestoft has just dropped off the Port Talbot Pilot and is on a course of 182° (G) (Gyro
error 2° H) at a speed of 5 knots. An Easterly wind is causing 3° leeway. Tidal stream is as
per Diamond G (HW Avonmouth at 1215 hrs (springs)). The following observations are
made:

At 1415 hrs, Scarweather Light Vessel is bearing E’ly (G) and at 1515 hrs bearing NE’ly (G).

Find the Vessel’s position at 1515 hrs.

Master has instructed OOW to call him when 3 miles from nearest land. Predict the time
when Master is to be called.

MT Lowestoft is in the vicinity of Stanley Bank (off Lundy Island), steering 300° (C) at a
speed of 10 knots.

At 1700 hrs, Lundy Island North Light is bearing 225° (C)

At 1800 hrs, a/co to 000° (C)

From 1845 hrs – 1915 hrs, Engines stopped for Drills
At 1915 hrs, steered 330° (C) and speed is 10 knots

(Assume all Engine actions to be instantaneous)

Wind was SW’ly causing 2° leeway and Set and Rate of current was estimated to be as
follows:

From 1630 – 1830: E’ly x 2 knots

From 1830 – 2030: SE’ly x 3 knots

At 1945, Caldey Island was observed at range of 5’ on starboard bow. Find the Vessel’s
