Sequences & SeriesA cruise ship maintains a speed of 14 knots (nautical miles per hour) sailing from San Juan to Barbados, a distance of 600 nautical miles. To avoid a tropical storm, the captain heads out of San Juan at a direction of 19° off a direct heading to Barbados. The captain maintains the 14-knot speed for 15 hours, after which time the path to Barbados becomes clear of storms.
