oh boy, maybe geometry intuitions and spatial reasoning are what's really needed.

Or maybe a nice sabbatical aboard a sailboat expedition.

Or maybe not, because that's where confusing 180 and 360 degrees or headwind and tailwing will REALLY bite you.

the cool way is turn 90 or 270 degrees n then do tacking.
