While on a course of 097°pgc, a light bears 8° on the port bow at a distance of 11.7 miles. What course should you steer to pass 3 miles abeam of the light leaving it to port?

Correct Answer: Option D — 104°pgc

Relocating past a navigational hazard at a specific abeam distance requires solving the relative motion triangle using initial range, bearing, and desired passing distance to compute the proper course alteration.
