Boat and Stream

These documents contain information about boat speeds upstream and downstream in rivers with currents. Many provide the speed of a boat in still water, the speeds upstream and/or downstream, and ask to calculate the speed of the current. Common questions include calculating distances or times traveled given speed information, or calculating speeds given time and distance values for upstream and downstream travel.
