Current, Wind & Tide

Current, wind and tides are always important to consider while boating.  When current and wind and tidal change are working against one another, the water can get terribly turbulent.  we encountered this situation going under the bridge to Jacksonville Beach.  Sometimes this turbulent water can try to make the boat “crabwalk” rather than lead with the bow which could possibly result in running aground if the captain is not vigilant.
