If going North, with a wind blowing from West to East, wouldn't the windward side be on the port side, not the starboard side? I must be doing something obviously wrong early in the morning since the writer says it's going the other way.

That's a typo in conclusion 1, the wind is blowing east to west as it says just above. "the gale comes from the eastward"

Oh thank you! That makes sense, reading back.
