And after he miserably fails at kitesurfing - what's next - solo-parasailing from a boat on autopilot?![]()
Interesting story. Not sure why he thought he was drifting south.
the vectors and point-of-sight triangulation can detect when the wind apogees while the Gulf Stream perigees, resulting in the extrapolation of the delta V inversely proportional to the distance from shore, which can in fact make you drift against the current, but usually only to the extent you are drifting with the current
it's a well known phenomena
and of course, if you have a gyroscope handy, you can dip it in the water and swirl it around, switching the direction of the Gulf Stream
but this takes a lot of practice
