The skipper of the Schooner 5 sets sail from the above coordinates on a course of 60 degrees true making 10 knots. The crew informed the skipper that a ship bearing the Jolly Roger had been spotted in the distance astern. After 15 minutes of sailing the skipper marks his DR position on his chart as well as a LOP of Everbright lighthouse (N30° 01.317 W95° 22.394), bearing 3 degrees true from his current position. The skipper is confident that the Schooner 5 will not be overtaken. However, he decides to throw his cache overboard to be retrieved at a later time. After the Schooner 5 had sailed an additional 20 minutes, the skipper signals his crew to throw the cache overboard. The skipper marked his second DR position on his chart as well as a second LOP of Everbright lighthouse, bearing 189 degrees true from his current position.
Did the captain ever return for this watery cache? Does it await the FTF that plots the correct course and drags it up from the shallows?
