    Is there high winds? Rough seas? Rain? What if a sea monster comes between the buoy and the boat? See... all these things need to be answered first before I can tell you.


    We can't do your homework for you. You need to try it first and show what you did, then someone may come along and help you with it.

    No winds no other factors. Not homework. Studying for maths after 20 years out of school. Looking for solution to study and hopefully attempt other similar problems. Above is only one half of problem.. Other boat travelling in another direction! No sea monsters! We're in the Irish sea! All calm.. Thanks in advance!
