Default judging current; rules of thumb?


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



Yes, there is. All you have to do is look on the charts for those little arrow thingies...
Or you can look in the tide and tide current books.

Cheers,
Ellen
