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.
