🔍 Key Concepts

• Agulhas Current location and general direction of flow • Your vessel’s course and track on a voyage from New York to Durban • Difference between set (direction current pushes you) and whether it is head, following, onshore, or offshore

💭 Think About

• Visualize the general route from New York down the Atlantic and around the southern tip of Africa toward Durban; on which side of Africa is the Agulhas Current located? • Think about the direction the Agulhas Current flows along the coast of South Africa—does it run generally toward or away from your destination? • If a current runs roughly in the same direction as your intended track, what type of current is that? If it runs toward the land or away from it, what kind of set does that describe?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm on a chart or atlas that the Agulhas Current flows southwest along the southeast coast of Africa • Check whether Durban lies on the east or west side of South Africa and how that relates to the current’s flow direction • Decide if, along that coast near your arrival, the current would tend to push a vessel toward the land (onshore) or away from the land (offshore), or mainly along your track (head or following)
