All I am after is someone who has gathered data on a relatively simple tidal narrows indicating just how fast the current ramps up to full flow. I'm pretty sure it's closer to a rounded square wave than the nice clean sine wave shown on all the tables with graphical representation of current speed. If he's got funding to do that on the lower Columbia River system then he's pretty much got his career sewn up tight. :D Craig *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
