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 22, 2007 · Figuring out currents for Delaware River/Bay. On our way from Annapolis to Lake Champlain, we'll be leaving the C&D Canal on approximately May 8th and heading towards Cape May. I show a 1.1kt ebb flow at 0700 right at the eastern end of the C&D Canal where we'll be entering the Delaware. I'm fairly new at factoring currents into timing.
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.
Jul 11, 2008 · For tidal height it is the "rule of 12" 1-2-3-3-2-1. 1/12 the total change in the first hour, 2/12 the second hour, etc. I know of no similar general rule for currents. Current flows are just too variable. Consider the Cape Cod canal, 3 ft tides on one end, 9 ft tides on the other.
Apr 3, 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.

When I priced ALM and Port A last year, both were nearly the same for a 38' boat (40' slip) once the liveaboard fee was added in (one was slightly cheaper slip, the other slightly cheaper LA fee). Neither were $1000/month, closer to $750 including liveaboard fee.
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.
