🔍 Key Concepts

• Agulhas Current location and general direction of flow • Relationship between your ship’s track from New York to Durban and the orientation of the South African coast near Durban • Difference between onshore/offshore and head/following currents (direction relative to the vessel vs. relative to the coast)

💭 Think About

• Sketch (even roughly) the east coast of South Africa and mark Durban; then draw the usual direction of the Agulhas Current there • Draw your vessel’s approximate approach track from the Atlantic toward Durban and compare that track with the current’s direction: are you moving with it, against it, or across it? • Consider separately: (1) is the current flowing toward or away from the land? (onshore/offshore) and (2) is it roughly in the same or opposite direction as your ship’s course? (following/head)

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that the Agulhas Current flows along the southeast margin of Africa and note whether it is generally poleward or equatorward there • Double‑check whether "onshore" and "offshore" are defined with respect to the coastline, not the ship’s heading • Before choosing, confirm if your final approach course to Durban is more north–south or east–west, and then compare that with the current’s direction to classify it as head/following or onshore/offshore
