From the strip form for our example, the morning Sun sight's intercept is 15.3 arcminutes away, and the azimuth is 86.1°. Here, Chief Sheedy plots the morning Sun line and plots DR for the next few hours.
Chief Sheedy: Now that we’ve completed a strip form for our morning Sun line, we can now plot it on the Universal Plotting Sheet. I take the azimuth, 086 decimal 1 degrees and draw it out from my assumed position. Draw an arrow, and label GP for geographic position of where the Sun is: arrow, GP of the Sun. Looking at the strip form, it is now 15.3 decimal minutes away, which I will plot. Then draw a line perpendicular to the azimuth line, properly label, and this is our Sun line line of position. Since this is a singular line of position, my DR continues course 318 speed 6 knots. This is not enough information, this line of position, so I’m going to continue DRing out course 318, 6 knots.
