Floating, neither anchored nor controlled (6)

I believe the answer is:

adrift

(Other definitions for adrift that I've seen before include "Unsettled or unanchored" , "Aimlessly floating" , "Afloat without steerage" , "Going out of control" , "Undirected" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
