Here's an simple way to resolve the teaser question. Put your boat at the
ocean's mouth of San Francisco bay when the wind is dead calm and the tide
is out going at six knots. The current gives you an apparent wind of 6 knots
from the stern of the boat. Sail downwind or tack if you like into S.F. bay
using this apparent wind. If you dont want to try it yourself, maybe you can
find some one who uses this method.
