For every 10% of tide to speed Adjust your course by � 6� if the tide is on your beam Use � 4� if the tide is on your bow or quarter E.G. If you have 2 knots of tide and your speed is 10 knots; the tide is 20% of your speed. Adjust your course by � 12� if the tide is on your beam � 8� if the tide is on your bow or quarter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
