Dave is correct. It is primarily the northeast side of Vancouver island is affected by the North to South flood tide. In Johnstone Strait it floods north to south. When you get in the southern Discovery Islands, and in Sutil Channel in particular, the tide is flooding from the "usual direction" south to north. However, in the neighboring Discovery Channel it floods from North to South. Up one channel and down in the other. Go figure! Makes for some extremely interesting currents. Things are out of phase, and those narrow passages mess everything up. -- MZ website: http://members.home.net/mzuschlag *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
