Bearings & Distances
Distance O to B12.8 km
Bearing of B from O098.7°
Back bearing (O from B)278.7°
- Get the direct distance from O to B to at least 15 km
- Make B lie due east of O (resultant bearing of about 090°)
- Sail 10 km due north (000°), then 10 km due east (090°) — find the direct distance back (10√2 ≈ 14.14 km)
- Make the back bearing from B to O exactly 040° (so B lies on a bearing of 220° from O)
- Align both legs in roughly the same direction to push the direct distance above 20 km
