This was not a vague question, it was a well posed mathematical problem. You
ignored the complicating issue and solved a simpler case. You were 10% off in
the speed and 5 degrees off in the current direction. You the ignored the
second part because it required some actual math. Donal solved both problems
using a proper navigational method, though I think his accuracy could have been
better.

I simply provided the proper mathematical solution. I sorry if a bit of trig is
beyond you.

BTW, given the numbers you provided, why do you think this was "an eddy" and not
the Gulf Stream itself?

donny, jeffies, you guys are arguing a case-specific, tightly defined issue.
Stand back a couple feet and deal with the concept. Gotta remember that the
original assumptions were nothing more than assumptions, therefore while
precision can be obtained accuracy can not.

Since no one seems willing to do this probably, here are the answers:

Excuse me???

Define "properly"! I worked it out using a Breton plotter. That *is* the
proper way to do it.
