look it up.

Not when it's Nav-math.

And otnmbrd's post is really to the point... general rules are nice, but
every location is a special case and will trump most of the general
rules.

One of the most frustrating things around here is that the tide tables
are usually in error by at least half an hour. The tidal current in
Snow's Cut (for example) is very strong, and so far I have yet to see it
run on schedule. It's annoying after planning a departure at an
inconvenient time so as to arrive at slack, only to find the current
running like a champ with no sign of slacking.

The current in cuts between two tidal domains is very difficult to predict.

BTW, I was flying up from FL last week and had a great view of Snow's Cut from 7
miles up. In fact I had great views of the coast both down and back. And the
Song Airlines off-season rate was less than what I paid for a 20 minute bi-plane
ride on the Vineyard this summer.

I bet it is. Lots and lots of variables...

I've had the chance to do this too... a while back, though. The Outer
Banks and the Eastern Shore are fascinating to fly over. Snow's Cut
isn't really one of the highlights, visually speaking.
