Deepwater Horizon - Transocean Oil Rig Fire

[QUOTE=bigmoose;35652]Distance from well head to ROV looking at billowing clouds, perhaps from seafloor.

OK, someone here I am sure knows navigation, I do not.

ROV at well head navigation display: E 1202514.91 N 10431435.xx
ROV at billowing cloud display: E 1204229.41 N 10433840.12

How far apart are they and in what direction is the billowing cloud ROV relative to the well head?[/QUOTE]

UTM Coordinates

Delta X = 1715 ft
Delta Y = 2405 ft

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent = 0.71309 = angle from target, 35.5 deg

180 - (90 + 35.5) = bearing 54.5 deg from wellhead ROV, distance 2953 ft

…ish
