Greetings paddlers,
I have a question to those who may have paddled in British Columbia's Gulf
Islands.
I am planning on doing a 6 day trip in the Mayne and Saturna Island area.  I
read somewhere that the tide floods and ebbs in a southerly direction
through Tumbo Channel - adjacent to Cabbage Island and Tumbo Island.
Evidently it is an anomolie that occurs there.  Is this true?
Does anybody have an experience with this?

I am also open to suggestions for the trip.
:-)
Thanks,
Jim Meldrum
Slave Lake, Alberta
(where it is snowing and the paddling opportunities are indoor only)
