A boat is generally easier to steer with the current because the flow of water helps propel the vessel forward, allowing for better maneuverability and speed. Steering against the current can be more challenging as the boat faces resistance, making it harder to control direction and maintain speed. This can lead to increased difficulty in navigating and requires more power from the boat's engine or oars.

To cast off a boat when the wind or current is pushing away from the dock, first ensure that all lines are untied and ready for a smooth departure. Use a fender to protect the boat from the dock as you maneuver. If possible, position the boat at an angle to the wind or current before casting off to create a natural push away from the dock. Once free, use the throttle gently to steer the boat into open water, maintaining control against the wind or current.
To leave the dock with the current pushing against you, first assess the current's strength and direction. Start by using your engine to create thrust away from the dock while simultaneously steering the boat at an angle toward the current, allowing it to push you off the dock. If possible, use fenders to protect the boat from the dock as you maneuver. Once free, steer into the current to gain control and head in your desired direction.
