Any good freebie tide programs out there? I've been using WXTIDE32 till I
found out it was off by more than an hour in my area.

I am currently (pun intended) using Tide Tool
(http://www.toolworks.com/bilofsky/tidetool.htm)

I am still comparing it to the official tide and current tables. It
seems fairly accurate. Some passes that I use are not included.

I also use Tide Tool on my palm pilot. My inlet isn't included either.
But a town about 10 miles up the coast is, so I use that one and it's
not off by more than a few minutes.

Along with this issue does anyone have experience with accuracy of the the
built-in tide data in charting programs sucs as TheCap'n?

Are you sure you are not confusing tide and current. Where I live the
current-(water direction) changes 2 hours after the tide-(water level).

You are probably right about the currents. I am still trying to figure this
program out so I apologize for the multiple posts.

Thanks
