True North

No the wind will not blow your tail to the left.

The wind merely makes the mass of air you are flying in move over the ground (in the case you gave ) towards the west, so you will head 360 and track over the ground a bit to the left of north. The actual angle depending on your speed and the windspeed.

Mind you if your post was a windup I guess you win on all counts
