Yesterday I was browsing this thread and others for instruction.

There was a tutorial that showed how to intercept a ship that's out of your sight range... like 8 hours away.

In the tutorial, the ship was headed WNW and you intercept it from the east. It had a good narrative that went with it, saying that you calculate the time to intercept at about 8 hours, then go off to bed... but then you remember that you want to get there early, so you raise your speed by 1 knot, then go back to sleep.

This is the most I can remember and I can't find it anywhere now. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!
