I see all too often boats of all types and sizes casting off down tide or with the tide 'under' them and never have I seen one successfully manage it. It is surrounded with failure from the moment you have cast your lines and with no escape route available, it's a bad day out.
This video shows the best way to cast off from a dock or a mooring by applying a simple thought process and using the tide to your benefit. This method hopefully help you to continue to enjoy boating in a safe and fun way. I am not a cruising instructor but this is based on my personal experience.
The all important point is that you need water flow over the rudder before you have steerage. that's why you always manoeuvre into the tide.
