ok. how does olc arrive at the figure of 59 degrees - i can only assume he has subtrated 301 from 360 ??

this i can understand: 360 -
301
059

he draws with his protractor a line from his course, clicking on his boat then reaching out with line to position of ship = 59 degrees.

now for some reason i can not seem to get this to work for me: if i see a ship at 265 degrees then this must mean it is 95 degrees relative to me, yes ?

and yet when i try this on the chart i get a completly different figure ?

im lost...
im wondering what im doing wrong ?
