All you then need to do is to take bearings of the fore-and aft line of the boat from the same position that you were in for the first part of the exercise and compare the bearings with the main compass to draw up a deviation chart for the main compass. However, navigating in this traditional way certainly reminds you to 'aim off' and aim to be upwind of time and tide as you make you approach.
