My favorite marine weather information: I like to know what is happening around East Point at the south tip of Saturna Island.
It is one of the most exposed locations, so it can't get any worse where I usually travel.

This is the best web site I have found for tide and current information.
I like the maximum current time and speed information.

Here is a sample for Sansum Narrows, the passage between Salt Spring and Vancouver Island. August/2008 long weekend
