Yes. And from one day to the next. And one week to the next and one month to the next.

Tidal currents can affect crossings. He was correct.
Tidal currents can dramatically affect an underpowered vessel in The Channel, significantly altering its steering control and overall speed. In narrow or constricted waterways, where water moves at its fastest, even moderate currents can cause a boat to drift sideways, miss intended waypoints, or struggle to make headway. [1, 2, 3, 4]
A sailboat can easily beat an underpowered motor vessel in strong, windy, and tidal conditions. While an underpowered engine might struggle to make headway in adverse winds and waves, a properly handled sailboat uses the wind as an engine, achieving superior speed and maneuverability.

more evidence you have no clue. The links don't even support the cr*p your AI generated.A sailboat can easily beat an underpowered motor vessel in strong, windy, and tidal conditions.

Several Right-wing posters, including the two I've quoted, use the term 'illegal migrant' yet those two above are unsure of what an 'illegal migrant' actually is.
I can only assume that they put two words together to make a compound word which they will use persistently to intentionally demonise asylum seekers, but don't understand the meaning of that compound word.
I know it's a daft question, but, does anyone else use words that they are unable to explain the meaning?
I can think of a few, Spineless and his use of the word 'communist' for one. I have asked him several questions about his understanding of the word 'communist' but so far I've had absolutely no response. but he carries on using the word, throwing it around like confetti, without being able to explain its meaning.
Then there's the word 'terrorist' which is totally subjective of one's viewpoint whether it's being used correctly.

Combined with other effects, such as weather, other traffic, change in launching sites, etc it will make a difference.
Tidal current = massive effect on who makes it across in poorly powered overcorwded small boats. Especially when coupled with other factors like wind direction etc.

I think AI is more reliable than a so-called expert who uses his expertise to flatly deny what other experts assert.
