You are running parallel to the coast and plotting running fixes using bearings of the same object. You are making more speed than assumed for the running fix. In relation to the position indicated by the fix you will be __________.

Correct Answer: Option A — farther from the coast

When running parallel to a coast using bearings of the same object for a running fix, making excess speed causes the vessel to travel further than calculated. Advancing the first LOP using the slower assumed run places the resulting fix closer to the coast than the vessel's actual offshore position, leaving the vessel farther from the coast.
