While on a course of 321°T, a light bears 7° on the starboard bow at a distance of 9.7 miles. What course should you steer to pass 3.5 miles abeam of the light leaving it to starboard?

Correct Answer: Option C — 307°T

Using standard chartwork and Bowditch triangle geometry, calculate the distance-to-run and the required steering angle adjustment to successfully transition from the initial intercept vector to the 3.5-mile starboard abeam passing track.
