QUESTION 1 [35]
At 11h30, the OoW on a vessel steering 180° at 18 kn, observed Robben Island Lighthouse bearing 075°.

At 12h10, Slangkoppunt Lighthouse was bearing 120°.

QUESTION 2 [40]

The OoW on a vessel fixes its position at 04h00 as 34° 50,6’S 018° 01,5’E

From the above fix at 04h00, a course is set so as to reach WP01: 34° 52,0’S 018° 30,0’E at an engine
speed of 10 kn.

The current is known to be setting 040° x 3kn and a strong Southerly wind was causing 10° leeway.

1. Determine the True Course to steer to counteract the current and wind:
