If the wind didn't change direction, wouldn't your return trip have been a

Yeah, sometimes it was a broad reach. But technically, if we went beat to the
south against southern winds, when we came about 180 degrees, it would be a
run. Unless there's something I'm missing here.


Yes there is -it's called the apparent wind.
