downwind.

or cross wind) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔- Consider that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
wind threatens to blow bow into piling as you turn while
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

turn/pivot the boat while backing out
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

from astern and cross? (Wind blows into the slip) -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔- This is called turning to |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
windward: consider that cross wind blowing into the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
fairway or wind blow into the slip may may prevent boat
