Default judging current; rules of thumb?

Here's one for those of you out there without onboard
instruments/knotmeter/gps....

Is there any reasonably accurate (say, within a know or so) way of
judging the current, when you are under way, and there are no fixed
objects within sight?

Shaun


Yes, there are.

I can't think of any way to do it without some kind of instrument.

If there's nothing in sight, you have no point of reference.

Tell us please....
