Your vessel is steering course 073°psc, variation for the area is 15°E, and deviation is 4°E. The wind is from the southeast, producing a 4° leeway. Which true course are you making good?

Correct Answer: Option B — 088°T

Convert compass 073°psc by applying 4° East deviation to obtain magnetic 077°, then add 15° East variation for true 092°T. Southeast wind produces 4° leeway to port, subtracting 4° from true course yields a made good course of 088°T.
