I found some current charts for some areas, they give slack, max ebb,
and max flow. this I understand.
For other areas I find only the H & L tide chart. I want to make max
use of the tide (ebb). Say H is at 0800 and L is at 1400. is it simply
a matter of shoving off at 0800 and 'ride the out going tide till
1400?
TIA

Perhaps if you modified your vessel and made it float like this one:

You would get a great current ride. This Navy ship has been in 80 foot
seas!
