Tidal Stream Prediction: Determine "Set & Drift" and Course to Steer

This video shows a detailed explanation of the Tidal Stream, Set & Drift. It covers how to determine "Set & Drift" using the Admiralty Tidal Tables and then apply it to determine the Course to Steer. Tidal stream or Tidal current is the horizontal movement of water caused by the rise and fall of the tide. Set is the direction in degrees toward which the tidal stream or current is moving. Drift or Rate refers to the speed of the tidal stream or current, typically measured in knots. #navigation #passageplanning #seamanship #maritime #seafarer #seaman #bsmt #maritimestudents
