Your vessel is steering course 111°psc, variation for the area is 5°E, and deviation is 3°W. The wind is from the northwest, producing a 1° leeway. What true course are you making good?

Correct Answer: Option A — 114°T

Compass 111° + Deviation 3°W = Magnetic 108°. Magnetic 108° + Variation 5°E = True 113°. Wind from the northwest pushes the vessel to the southeast, adding 1° to the course. 113° + 1° = 114°T. Ensure all corrections are applied algebraically to determine the final true course.
