Howdy y'all. First time out this summer on Irondiquoit Bay in Rochester I found myself in a near total calm, sail barely flapping, but I was moving diagonally, almost damn near sideways to port. Can someone help explain what I was doing wrong? My daggerboard was fully down, tiller amidships, or even trying to correct by steering to starboard. Eventually as I got dangerously close to some reeds I started paddling to correct and get back to the beach.
Only thing I could think of is that the bay's "current" for lack of a better term was pushing me that way.
Needless to say I'm incredibly embarrassed to even ask this but I'm stumped.
