My point was misunderstood...
Point being, you don't necessarily have to play the tides, but should be aware of the weather/tide and plan accordingly.
Meaning, the current boost isn't something that's really critical in a 12kt boat, but you're spot on; my intention was never that the current/wind is something to be ignored. Yes, it can turn conditions nasty in the right combination. Not to be overlooked. Thanks for pointing out the ambiguity.
