While on a course of 214°pgc, a light bears 9° on the port bow at a distance of 7.4 miles. What course should you steer to pass 2 miles abeam of the light leaving it to port?

Correct Answer: Option B — 221°pgc

Solve the piloting triangle per Bowditch methods by relating the initial range, relative bearing, and current course to the desired 2-mile port abeam clearance, yielding the precise course correction angle.
