I'm not sure I'm reading Dantenoc's post correctly, but it sounds like the actual compass heading is changing, and not just that the boat is winding up off course. To me, it would be one thing if the compass stayed set to 45 degrees but the boat wound up 15 degrees off course (that would be "drift" in my view), but it would be something entirely different if the compass heading actually changes from 45 to 60 degrees (which is what it sounds like Dantenoc is saying is happening) - that would sound like "crew incompetence" to me.
I had one stretch the other night where I wound up several degrees off course, further off than I expected to be or had been previously, but I didn't notice anything about the compass setting - I'll have to pay more attention next time and see if anything is going on with the compass heading.
