We were several times chas'd in our passage, but outsail'd every thing, and in thirty days had soundings. We had a good observation, and the captain judg'd himself so near our port, Falmouth, that, if we made a good run in the night, we might be off the mouth of that harbor in the morning, and by running in the night might escape the notice of the enemy's privateers, who often crus'd near the entrance of the channel. Accordingly, all the sail was set that we could possibly make, and the wind being very fresh and fair, we went right before it, and made great way. The captain, after his observation, shap'd his course, as he thought, so as to pass wide of the Scilly Isles; but it seems there is sometimes a strong indraught setting up St. George's Channel, which deceives seamen and caused the loss of Sir Cloudesley Shovel's squadron. This indraught was probably the cause of what happened to us.

白话

富兰克林一行在途中多次被追赶,但船快甩掉对方,三十天后测到水深。船长观测后判断离法尔茅斯港很近,若夜间顺风快跑,早晨可到港口,并避开敌方私掠船。于是满帆前进,风大顺,船速很快。船长以为航线可避开锡利群岛,但圣乔治海峡有时有强内流,会误导水手,曾导致克劳兹利·肖维尔舰队失事。这次事故可能也是内流所致。核心是:再好的计划也可能被隐藏的自然因素打乱,要留余量、警惕已知风险区。

上下文

你的计划是否考虑了那些看不见却会把你带偏的“暗流”?如何提前识别并留出缓冲?
