Driving a boat in current

Driving a boat in current means navigating through moving water, which can influence your direction and speed. The current flows in a certain direction, and if you want to reach a specific point, you may need to adjust your heading—aiming your boat slightly upstream or downstream—so that the current doesn’t carry you off course. Recognizing the strength and direction of the current allows you to plan your course and timing effectively. Essentially, driving in current requires combining your steering with an understanding of water flow to maintain your intended path and reach your destination efficiently.
