        I am referring to the "ways" that represent the actual track a
        canoe would take to traverse a lake. It is a type of path but it
        is on water, sort of like a ferry route. For example, the most
        direct route across a lake might not be the best. You might want
        to go around an island's leeward side rather than to windward.
        Drawing a line or way across the lake and around the island to
        show this path is easy. But how then do you tag it? It's not a
        highway and it's not a ferry track. What exactly is it?</div>

    If you used the same kind of scheme ferries use, then renders will
    already have some idea of what to do with it.. <br>

    etc. <br>

    but it will need a wiki page .. and RFC RFV here if you like too. <br>
    <br>
    For me .. what is windward today would be leeward tomorrow. <br>
