I don't think you are missing anything. The wind or vessel direction have nothing to do with it. Just need to know it's a sailing vessel. | |

Many questions in USCG exams will introduce extraneous information. The trick is separate the relevant info from the distracting info to make the right decision. | |

That's tricky, but WTR has good advice. Ignore the extraneous info. | |
