*Wording* WCA vs. Drift
Hi all,
Could I request some help with the wording and meaning of WCA vs. Drift?
As I understood,
My test bank: I am getting this error, so is it my understanding? Or the language? Or?
Many thanks!

As I understood,
- Drift is the direction towards where you are being blown, i.e. if wind is from the right (startboard), you are blown to the left (port), so the "Drift" is to the left (port). And vice-versa.
- WCA is the direction to turn to correct for the drift

Sometimes they want answers to WCA as + or -. Remember if you have Port drift then P prompts you of PLUS symbol "+" & Starboard drift then S prompts you of SUBTRACT symbol "-"
