One time sailing in Beaufort NC, it was blowing about 10knots all day long inside the inlet, but near sundown, the air started dying out. We got sucked out towards the ocean for about 5 minutes while there was no breeze. Thankfully a couple of puffs came along, and I was able to get near the banks where theres less current. Skipped from puff to puff back across the inlet to beaufort. Definitely pretty scary.

Also, sailing down around Tybee Island. Jim Stone and I were chatting it up on the beach for a bit to long when he turned around and noticed the clouds to the south were pretty dark. Had to get a move on quick to get back to where we were safe. After you round the last jetty at the entrance to the savannah river, the current is either with you or against you. Thankfully, the river was flat as glass with the current in our favor.
