A drift sock is excellent for when the wind and the tide are going opposite ways. The happens in SDBay all the time in the afternoon.

The sock won't slow you if wind and current are going the same direction.

By the way, if you DO get one, attach another line to the pointy end. Using that line to retreive it will collapse the chute and make bringing it in a LOT easier as it will empty it out.
