Question 23 Deck General

You are correct, the answer is A) flood current. When crossing a bar in rough weather, it is recommended to enter on a flood current. This is because the flood current will help carry the vessel over the bar, providing additional lift and reducing the risk of grounding or being pushed back by the outgoing current. Entering on an ebbing current could increase the difficulty and danger of crossing the bar, as the outgoing flow would work against the vessel. The other options are incorrect - a tidal bore is a sudden, powerful wave caused by the incoming tide, which would not be recommended for safely crossing a bar. And "all of the above" is not the correct answer, as only the flood current is the recommended choice in this scenario.
