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
