  • If I'm travelling at 4mph (about 3.5 knots) against a tide of 6 knots, does that mean I will just be going backwards? Or because it's water and I'm on top of it, is that not how it works?

  • Wiki:

    The speeds of vessels relative to the fluids in which they travel (boat speeds and air speeds) are measured in knots

    Which implies you'll be going backward relative to a fixed reference point.
