While on a course of 019°pgc, a light bears 14° on the port bow at a distance of 15.3 miles. What course should you steer to pass 1.5 miles abeam of the light, leaving it to port?

Correct Answer: Option B — 011°pgc

Using standard Bowditch triangle solutions for running fixes and course alterations, establish the relative bearing geometry, determine the distance to run along the original track, and compute the new heading required for the 1.5-mile abeam clearance.
