Everyone,
I am not an expert in this sort of thing so I am looking forward to this problem and trying to figure it all out. So no spoilers please.
The following is stated in the problem:
"N27deg 21' W123deg 46' (Japan Sea)"
I read this as the DR position however the parenthetical statement "Japan Sea" led me to believe that this position was somewhere in the Japan Sea. I Google Earthed the position and it is actually in the Pacific off the coast of Baja Mexico. Am I simply reading the statement wrong and the destination is the Japan Sea? Please clairfy.
The novice navigator
