Cape Code Canal - using the Tides

[PeterNeil]

Hello,

Based on a response I'm reposting this here (from the Travel Forum).

I'm planning on a trip down thru the Canal the 2nd week in August and have become somewhat concerned about using the tides correctly. I know there is a significant difference in current flow depending on the the Highs/Lows on the West and East ends.

Can any of you provide any information or pointers to magazine articles that may help me ?

Thanks in advance,

Peter.

John Silva did an article on the Canal for my site, <a href="http://www.fishingne.com" target="blank">Fishing New England</a>. You can find it in the features section.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I had actually found that web site and the article you mentioned already.

While it has some nice ideas for fishing the Canal I'm not going to be fishing (unfortunately) when I go through. I'm heading through the Canal down to Newport for a couple of days and then heading back North.

So, what I'm interested in is any information on how to figure the current flow through the Canal (based on the High/Low tides at either end ?). If I can figure the current flow correctly I'm told my passage, at wake speed, through will be lots easier.

So, any information or pointers out there ?

Thanks,

Peter.
