Stranded Deep: How to Find Your Way Back
You can also use the marked and recorded degrees to find your way back. All you need to do is either add or subtract 180 depending on the markings you have. If the recorded value is greater than 180⁰, subtract 180 from it. On the other hand, if the recorded value is less than 180⁰, add 180 to it. For instance, if the markings are 235⁰, you need to subtract 180 and the result will be 55⁰. Basically, the end value should be a number between 0⁰ and 360⁰.
Once you get the result value, all you need to do is follow that value until you reach the island where you begin.
