In an attempt to escape his island, Gilligan builds a raft and sets to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and he is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km 45.0 north of west; then 4.70 km 60.0 south of east; then 1.30 km 25.0 south of west; then 5.10 km straight east; then 1.70 km 5.00 east of north; then 7.20km 55.0 south of west; and finally 2.80 km 10.0 north of east. What is his final position relative to the island?
