hi hunters

a question about the tutorial:

at 21.30 minutes into the tutorial, OLC talks about bearing and position in regard to the merchant he is plottting to track/hit.

he is working it out with the protractor and says " 301 at 2000 meters..." i get this part cause the WO has declared it, then...

" 59 degrees bearing relative to my course..."

how does he know or worked out that bit - i dont see it in the tutorial ( not a criticism by the way OLC, i am enjoying your tutorial very much )

any clarity is most welcome - i think i cant see the wood for the trees, sometimes.
