If I plot an "x" and continue playing, when I return to draw the range and bearing with the protractor tool, my boat has sailed off into the future. According to Mr. Channing's delightful tutorial, you draw two angles with the protractor. The first is from the "x" through the boat at 0 degrees. The second is from the "x" through the bearing reading. You are instructing me to draw the first angle (0 degrees) but the boat is not there to plot it correctly. What is the solution to this problem?

Divide by 100? Using the 3 minute rule, you would divide the distance travelled by 30 minuties to get kts. per minute. If the target travels 10,000 yds. in 30 minutes, its speed is 333.33 kts per minute. Under the three minute rule the speed is 10 kts. per minute. Why are you dividing by 100?
