For a successful sailing voyage you need very good knowledge of wind patterns and ocean currents. A strong current can be friend or foe, helping to carry you where you want to go or rapidly carrying you off course.
Winds and currents vary widely from place to place and from season to season, and storms often disrupt the typical patterns. A good navigator thinks carefully about the likely winds and currents at the time of a voyage.
