🔍 Key Concepts

• Windward vs. leeward relative to both the boat and the person in the water • How wind and waves affect the drift of a small motorboat and a person in the water • Maintaining control and avoiding being blown onto the person during recovery

💭 Think About

• Think about which way the wind will push your boat once you slow or stop to pick the person up. Where do you want the person to be so you don’t drift over them? • Imagine your boat’s drift path: if you are upwind or downwind of the person, which position gives you better visibility and control while you maneuver close? • Consider which approach lets you use the wind to bring you gently toward the person rather than having to constantly fight it.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which side is windward (facing the wind) and which is leeward (away from the wind). • Visualize the relative positions: boat vs. person vs. wind direction for each choice. • Ask: In which option is it least likely that the boat will be blown over or past the person while you are trying to recover them?
