I currently us Capn Jacks current Atlas for Puget Sound and from what
I've see, I'm confident I will be happy with the Canadian current
atlas.
However, I need a recommendation on some thing similar for SE Alaska.
I don't like the tables, I like to work with something graphic, like
the Canadians Atlas.
Any recommendation would be appreciated.
The absolute best I've used is the Tidefinder, made by a small company in
Bellingham, WA. It has more locations than anything I've seen, and I'm pretty
sure it covers Alaska. We've found it indispensible for cruising WA and BC.
You put in the time and a location number code, and get back either current and
direction or water level. The original Tidefinder is a handheld electronic
device selling for a couple hundred bucks, but I believe you can get Tidefinder
PC software now too. Unfortunately I don't have a link to the manufacturer, but
I'm sure San Juan Electronics in Bellingham would know
(
