It is clear R116 was consistently aiming for what we know was Blackrock.
I don't agree at all. From 100 NM out it was headed in the general area of Blacksod/Blackrock, etc., but this could have been actually a route towards the ship's location. To say that it passed 4 NM south of Blacksod so it wasn't heading for it is being a little simplistic.
