What is the difference between windward and leeward on a boat?
Milym32696
Windward is where the wind is coming from and leeward is where the wind is going to.
So if you want to beach your boat on a relatively safe shore, you would want to beach your craft on the leeward side of a particular island, where it is sheltered from the wind.
