There is a wealth of information in every tide guide, but most boaters only know how to access a small portion of that information. With the cancellation of the printing of the NOAA and Canadian Tide and Current books, it is more important than ever that boaters understand the wealth of information that is available to them in all its various forms.
The seminar gives a brief introduction to the dynamics of tidal flows in the complex waters of the West Coast and provides skippers with the tools to get the most information from their tide and current guides.
