I should have mentioned that my The Capn nav software includes Tides and
Currents, but the graphic representations on the charts is very limited..

I prefer the Current Atlas approach since it shows a series of arrows in
most all passes and regions where accelerated currents might be experienced.
I consider it "good sport" take advantage of this and any back eddies when
the main current is against me.

One of the problems I expect to encounter are determining the current set in
some of the Inside Passages, since this might be counter to what would be
expected.

Maybe I'm making a bigger deal out of this than most, but I only have 25 hp
in a 13.5 ton full keel boat. Additionally, with the current price of fuel,
I don't want to waste an "Bucking the Current".

Thanks,
