The wind goes into the South each time you contemplate going that way?

Am I missing something here or are we both suffering from the same thing?

This nautical terminology

is hellish confusing, is it no'?

Frinstance, some people use "wind over tide" to mean both in the same direction whereas I always thought it meant wind and tide opposed.

I would agree with Wind over tide to mean the same direction. Wind against tide would mean the opposite.
