and even better wet grass, are more desirable for crosswind landings.
That has to be one of the most ridiculous statements Ive ever heard!
Doing most of my flying off grass I'm inclined to agree with Step turn.
A serious crosswind is no problem and even less problem on wet grass with a tailwheel, because it slides sideways until it lines up with the track. It has saved my ass a few times. Ridiculous it is not!
Ditch the textbook and fly the aircraft.
