Distance will be 150.90 using pytagorean theorem.. and the bearing is 304 degrees 44 minutes and 55 secs.
Yup for the distance, however, you made a mistake with the bearing.
It is 333 degrees 4 minutes and 35 secs.
You missed that point:
let F be the point where the boat is finally situated, O the origin point and I the intermediate point.
let N be the North direction.
