I had to listen to it in english in order to understand the story and it turned out to be a good story

A great story as usual. The coolest part for me was not technology or intuition, but the part about local knowledge of tidal eddies. I watched a KZread series called “keep turning left” about slowly circumnavigating your sceptered isle. Among other things it’s a sailing videographers love poem to the marvelously complex tides and estuaries that are inextricably woven into the history of Britain. I think it will be a while before technology supplants the local knowledge of your old friend. I could be wrong, though, if there’s a good enough, detailed enough database of tidal depths and flow rates, maybe someone could do map directions to let you take detailed advantage of eddies and such. If you could get really accurate micro wind and weather forecasts, maybe technology can help make sailing somewhat commercially useful again. With your surprise squall, I’m reminded of all the wise sailors who arranged to have someone in a high spot, even on land, maybe with a semaphore, to see what was coming from as far as possible. And they had local knowledge of typical weather sequences. We’ve just got higher spots, a better semaphore, and more systematic local knowledge now.

So descriptive you bought the whole thing to life. I could even feel the cold air and see the rain putting fire hoses to shame. Brilliant. So technology has a welcome place. Ok .

Tide is king. But the weather is his prime minister. Gale against tide in the solent. It's a good thing your boat is tough. Great story.

So for us non-native British English speakers, in plain English, he says that you should go with the tide instead of against it, correct?
