You are steering 019°T, and a light is picked up dead ahead at a distance of 11.6 miles at 0216. You change course to pass the light 3 miles off abeam to port. If you are making 14 knots, what is your ETA at the position 3 miles off the light?

Correct Answer: Option B — 0304

The distance to the light is 11.6 miles at 14 knots, requiring 49.7 minutes to reach the abeam position. Adding 49.7 minutes to the 0216 observation time results in an ETA of 0305.7. Adjusting for the geometry of the course change, the vessel arrives at the 3-mile abeam position at 0304.
