In many narrow bodies of water, the strength of the current may be cause to limit or deny the use of the passageway for boats of insufficient power. There are also locations where riding a favorable current can significantly speed boats passage and reduce the amount of fuel used.
On The Other Hand See Boat Straps:Vinyl straps: Wash with mild detergent and warm water, using a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. To remove scuff marks, apply toothpaste or gentle abrasive and rub gently with a dry cloth. To remove mildew, use a solution of warm water, mild detergent and bleach (no more than 1/4 cup to 3 gallons of water). Apply vinyl protectant to the straps after cleaning.

7. Maneuver for the pick up. In some cases, you can approach from the windward of the victim, and let the Boat straps drift down toward him, providing a lee. In most cases, however, it is best to approach from leeward in order to avoid having your Boat straps blow right over the victim. Just slight amounts of power will be needed to keep your Boat straps under control. A sailboat straps should approach nearly on the wind so that it can luff up to stop the headway when the victim is reached. In any case, stop the Boat straps a short distance from the victim, and throw him a line, such as a ski tow rope, that floats. It is less hazardous than trying to maneuver your Boat straps right up to him.
