You are underway on course 204°T at a speed of 17.3 knots. You sight a light bearing 205°T at a radar range of 4.7 miles at 1222. If you change course at 1228, what is the course to steer to leave the light abeam to port at 1.5 miles?

Correct Answer: Option C — 236°T

Utilize the running fix principle and relative motion. After calculating the distance traveled between bearings, determine the distance off at the second bearing. Applying the geometry of a right triangle for the desired 1.5-mile abeam distance, the required course to steer is 236°T to intercept the track.
