My understanding is that it isn't about differences in course, per-se, but
must also include the bearing from the vessel that is being caught, to the

Her wording has a very key phrase "Catching up with" this is an
overtaking situation not a crossing situation, therefore we know the
vessel is 22.5 degrees abaft the beam or she would have said they were
meeting or crossing IMO.
