You are rightm there is always leeway, but the boat has luffed up about
10 degrees, but I'll let the Boob make even more fun before I reveal all
my evidence.

And the wake is to port. Don't you know which side of the boat is which?

Yup, quite clearly. All you have to do is spot the wake to starboard which
clearly shows she's adjusting coarse.

Another fellow who thinks wake is always aft. Look to starboard. See the wave
moving off midships? That's also a WAKE. See posted definition.

And YET more mistakes!!!
 
Yes, that's right the wake is the water track. The wake in question
leads right up between the headland at the right of the picture the
little ?rock just to the right of the PORT shroud.


Do you have mechaqnical aids to help dig such a deep hole for yourself?

Bwhahhahahahahahah! Let me help you. Is Sudzy's left hand PORT or starboard?

Port, but the wake described isn't present to port at all. It's to starboard,
midship.
I think you don't know what "wake" means. You probably think it's always aft.
Not so.

Wake:
The visible track of turbulence left by something moving through water: the
wake of a ship. Disturbance in liquid from moving object.

You poor thing.

LP (still waiting... are you still trying to come up with an answer?)
