I don't understand the adjust speed for current thing.... your boat doesn't care if there is a current or not, it becomes part of the current and will move at its normal speed with respect to the current. You will have the same steerability as still water. Where you need to be careful is when you are not parallel to the current you will still be moving with the current which will move your boat sideways with respect to the land. The only place this is a problem is when pulling into or out of Thurston's. You do not need to speed up to maintain steerage in the channel.....
