🔍 Key Concepts

• Flood current vs ebb current definitions in basic seamanship texts • Relationship between current direction and the shoreline or a river’s downstream direction • How slack current and reversing current are defined and when they occur

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when the water is moving AWAY from the shore or DOWNSTREAM, are you thinking of water coming in or going out? • Which term is specifically tied to the direction of tidal flow relative to the coast, rather than just a change in direction? • Which option describes a condition of little or no movement, and which describe definite movement in one direction?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which term means water moving toward the shore vs away from the shore • Identify which term refers to very weak or no current around a change of tide • Confirm which term describes any current that can change direction, not specifically away from shore or downstream
