It's basically simple vector algebra. Assume a speed through the
water of 5 kts on a course of due east. Also assume a north flowing
current of 5 kts. The resultant course made good would be north east
at 7 kts.



I see where we disagree. My logic was course to the destination and
that's not enhanced by a current which is 90 degrees to the desired course.

I guess until Skip checks in, we'll not know exactly what he was about.
