I'm hoping for a little advice regarding how to time tides for the C&D and Delaware Bay, and info regarding anchoring at Cape May. I've heard that you can anchor reasonably well off of ...
Jan 27, 2013 · 5054 posts · Joined 2000. #3 · Jan 27, 2013 (Edited) Several factors control the current in the C&D canal. 1. Tide amplitude on the Del River is 6ft., 1.5ft. on the Ches. Bay. 2. The Del River is a 'flowing river'.... adding to the tide height by virtue of its volumetric flow direction. 3.
May 26, 2014 · The Williams & Heinz Maryland Cruising Guide map kit has tidal current charts for the Northern Chesapeake Bay (north of Cove Point) toward the back of the volume. I believe Reeds Nautical Almanac has them as well. The Bay has relatively benign tidal currents, but there are some places where it may affect you. In addition to tidal currents, some ...
Apr 4, 2013 · Route. Via ICW & Outside (Beaufort/Morehead, NC) 140 nm, Annapolis, MD to Norfolk, VA. ICW 623 nm, Norfolk, VA to Beaufort/Morehead City, NC. 497 Beaufort/Morehead City, NC to Stuart, FL. So around 1270 nm. If it was all ICW, then at an avg of 4 knots, so that's just over 300 hrs. If I do 10hrs a day, that's 30 days.
May 26, 2022 · First off as others have said the the H/L tides do not match with the slack currents. If the current has a perfect sinusoidal rhythm, it will follow the rule of 12ths. Assuming the current runs for 6-hours. Hours 1 and 6 will have 1/12 tidal flow volume. Hours 2 and 5 will have 2/12 tidal flow volume.

I go from Baltimore, but down to 50 near Annapolis and in. There are cxommuter buses from the parking lots along 50, but youd have to get to there. Dave.
Jan 15, 2011 · The days of having to guess or winnow out local knowledge for the phase difference between tide and current. Check NOAA Tides and Currents and look under current predictions under products. The 2011 numbers aren't up yet but should be in the next few weeks. After East River we anchor behind Sandy Hook.
