Whiz Wheels or E6B's, here is a off the cuff thought. One has to lay a plot for: Wind speed and Wind Direction True Speed of Kayak (speed without outside interference) Magnetic Course of the kayak Plus Current Speed and Current Direction True Speed of Kayak Magnetic Course of the Kayak Determine the impact of the combined forces of Wind and Current on the speed and course of the kayak to establish Velocity Made Good and Required Heading to maintain course. To me the tough part is determining the separate impact of the wind and current on the speed of the kayak and what the required heading correction to maintain course. Now that is simple enough.
