A vessel can be making way though the water and not be moving with regard to the bottom, when the vessel is moving straight into the current and the speed and course of the vessel is equal to the speed and direction of the current. On the other hand, a vessel may be stopped with regard to the water and be moving with regard to the bottom, in the direction and at the speed of the current (not taking the direction and speed of the wind into account). In theory, the current must be considered as a mass of water moving in a certain direction and with a certain speed and taking with it everything that is in the water. Not taking the effect of the wind or any other atmospheric element into consideration, a vessel of any size (large or small) and a matchbox will drift at the same speed and in the same direction under the influence of the same current.
