Answered by Esther, air-sea rescue from SCIII - presume she changed course to get a bit of shelter from the wind to help winchman. Sue

She would have turned into wind on the instructions of the helicopter pilot - it's easier to control a helicopter when flying forward into wind. Much like a weather vane.
