AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) In the Sailing Directions. The Sailing Directions, published by national hydrographic offices around the world, provide detailed information on currents, tides, and other navigational data for areas not covered by the U.S. National Ocean Service. This makes the Sailing Directions the primary reference for obtaining data on currents in areas outside of U.S. jurisdiction. The other options are incorrect because: B) The Nautical Almanac does not contain detailed current data, C) The Coast Pilot is specific to U.S. waters, and D) The List of Lights does not include current information.
