Here's a link to the real-life application of the Dobbs' current.

Off to the right of the video of reaching in Charleston harbor is Fort Sumter. It was my intention to get pictures of Fort Moltrie, which was around during our period, but the wind got spicy and a cargo ship showed up at an inappropriate time. Fort Moltrie would have been off to the left if it had been visible.
Thanks for the Rep Dobbs, as for the story just go for it, I always enjoy a game report.

I like your idea of going backward to stem the current, it would have been interesting to see the faces of the guy's in the power boat. With having a longish fin keel we always kick to port and I don't seem to be able to do anything about it, without more than a modicum of luck and a bit of wind from the right direction, but I'm always too out of control to risk it.
4 Kts of current is an interesting experience
