Swerves at sea (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yaws

'swerves at sea' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for yaws that I've seen before include "Doesnt go straight; tropical disease" , "Goes off course (ship); tropical disease" , "Deviates" , "course changes" , "Moves unsteadily" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The New York Times.
