OK here's what you need to do:

2. Be at full-stop ideally (or no more than 1 kt) and try to be side-on to the vessel as much as possible - it doesn't work from straight ahead, but 90 degrees + or - 50 degrees is usually fine.

I am not sure what you mean by this. Is the target supposed to be on your side (90/270) or are you to be on the target's side (in other words AOB=90 or 270)?. If the later your are correct (for the reason Platapus described below), but the former is not to be recommended because your own speed (even if small) distorts the measurement in the worst possible way. Put the target just in front of your bow or stern and you'll minimise the effect of your speed.
