If your true course is 185 degrees and the light bears 75 degrees relative, what is the true bearing to the light?

To determine the true bearing to the light, you need to add the relative bearing of the light to the true course of the vessel. In this case, the true course is 185 degrees, and the light bears 75 degrees relative.

To calculate the true bearing, you add the relative bearing (75 degrees) to the true course (185 degrees).

185 degrees + 75 degrees = 260 degrees.

This calculation shows that the light is situated at a true bearing of 260 degrees from your position. Therefore, the correct answer reflects the proper addition of the relative bearing to the true course, resulting in the conclusion that the true bearing to the light is indeed 260 degrees.
