If a marker says Pass NE you have to at least hit a certain latitude to the north and a certain lontitude to the east of it. Apparently, you didn't touch upon the lontitude. Do not turn back until the marker says "Rounded" to indicate you have indeed rounded it.

The marker in the web client will show when the marker is rounded.

See attached jpeg.

I did not know that Philip, thank you for the info. when I look at the figures my turning point is 118.524 E which is almost 0.5 m east of the mark.. do you know why system does not read it as it is crossed?

I don't really know if this is how it really works and I am not sure if can explain it properly, but in my mind I approach it like this: in this case, the mark is a 90° angle from a compass course of rougly 270° going to 180°. I think the trigger for passing the mark is an imaginary line at roughly 45°, so the further to the north you are, the further east you have to go to trigger it.

Like I said, I don't know if that is true, but that's the way I think of it. In the image I posted earlier I was on dc, so I made sure I had some margin.

Good luck,
Philip

Schakel is basically right.

Let's work with an example. You are about to pass the waypoint above in the attached picture.

The angle between that waypoint and the previous one (below left) is 240°. The angle between that waypoint and the next one (below right) is 170°.

To pass the current waypoint, you have to cross the imaginary line (shown in red) that bisects these two angles.

In our example, we could calculate the bisector as follows:

Total angle between the two routes:
(360°-240°)+(170°-0°) = 290°

Bisector:
240° + 290°/2 - 360° = 240° + 145° - 360° = 25° or
170° - 290°/2 = 170° - 145° = 25°

Francois

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
