On Sunday, 8 November, your ship is enroute from Texas City, TX, to Portland, ME.  At 0632 ZT, you fix your position at LAT 27°06'N, LONG 90°36'W.  When the lower limb of the Sun was two-thirds of a diameter above the visible horizon, the Sun bore 105° per standard magnetic compass.  At this time the chronometer read 12h 39m 20s and is 3m 20s slow. If the variation is 3°E, determine the deviation of the standard compass.
