No biggie though.
Well 'real life' navigators have to contend with course correction. Niggling little things like error in calculations, wind, current etc.
Yeah, but when your heading is 345 in real life, you might have to deal with all those problems, but you don't have to deal with the helmsman turning to 340, then 335, then who knows where?

Unless he's drunk, of course.
